Transitions between phases of genomic differentiation during stick-insect speciation
Published in Nature ecology & evolution (17-02-2017)“…Speciation can involve a transition from a few genetic loci that are resistant to gene flow to genome-wide differentiation. However, only limited data exist…”

Natural selection and the predictability of evolution in Timema stick insects
Published in Science (American Association for the Advancement of Science) (16-02-2018)“…Predicting evolution remains difficult. We studied the evolution of cryptic body coloration and pattern in a stick insect using 25 years of field data,…”

Large-scale mutation in the evolution of a gene complex for cryptic coloration
Published in Science (American Association for the Advancement of Science) (24-07-2020)“…Stick insects of the genus Timema show variations in color that are likely due to selection for camouflage on their plant hosts. Some species are only brown or…”

Ecology shapes epistasis in a genotype–phenotype–fitness map for stick insect colour
Published in Nature ecology & evolution (01-12-2020)“…Genetic interactions such as epistasis are widespread in nature and can shape evolutionary dynamics. Epistasis occurs due to nonlinearity in biological…”

Complex evolutionary processes maintain an ancient chromosomal inversion
Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences - PNAS (20-06-2023)“…Genome re-arrangements such as chromosomal inversions are often involved in adaptation. As such, they experience natural selection, which can erode genetic…”

Evolution repeats itself in replicate long-term studies in the wild
Published in Science advances (24-05-2024)“…The extent to which evolution is repeatable remains debated. Here, we study changes over time in the frequency of cryptic color-pattern morphs in 10 replicate…”
