🌺 New preprint with J.Pannell and @charlesmullon.bsky.social on the joint evolution of selfing and sex allocation! This joint evolution leads to an unexpected outcome: the emergence of androdioecy, which may either be stable or only a step on the path to complete selfing. 📝 ➡️ tinyurl.com/wf9xsv6v

Now that it's officially out, I have to say I'm quite proud of this work🙂 I got involved in it after a bit of a failure in another proj. Took way longer than it could. Started pregnant, published close to baby's 3rd bday😅 Very grateful for my patient mentors and collaborators doi.org/10.1093/molb...
