Amazing work!
Ready to share this preprint about the basis of a shift from egg-laying to live-birth in Littorina. We find evidence for live-bearer specific sweeps at many loci, overlapping with genes that are differential expressed btwn reproductive systems. pls share! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I don't use this platform much anymore, but I'm happy to share our work on sexual selection and the genomics of speciation in barn swallows. Thanks for reading and sharing, if of interest! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Happening tomorrow (9/11/24)! Join us and ask all your questions about @uvabio 💙🧡🪰🪱🐀🦠🧫🧬
Interested in the @uvabio PhD program? We're hosting a webinar on 9/11/2024 at 3PM EST. We'd love to see you there!

Evol Peeps! I'm hiring a new postdoc! Current studies include hybridization genomics in lemurs (with collabs @dataworthseeing and @mariahlemurs) and conservation genomics in endangered newts (with collabs @CarlosJPavonV and Bryan Stuart at the NC Museum). ukjobs.uky.edu/postings/535971
Hard co-sign! 🙌🏻
Gonna write a paper on this. PLEASE DON'T USE VCFTOOLS TO CALCULATE π. It is a random number generator, as the software assumes all bp that aren't SNPs are invariant (i.e. ignores missing data). This is especially bad in plant genomes, with abundant TEs where you can't map reads.
Please share: 2 openings in my lab @ CU Boulder-postdoc and PhD student-leverage/develop cutting-edge quantitative tools to discover ecological consequences of animal decision-making in the face of environmental change gillab.org/join
Check out my preprint with @pastramimachine, a brief update for our deep learning model that estimates dispersal rate from SNPs: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I’m recruiting! Looking for 1-2 MS students to join my lab in the Department of Ecology at Montana State University and work on questions related to conservation and population genomics in birds. Thanks for spreading the word—details here: evol.mcmaster.ca/~brian/evoldir…
If you are at #JMIH23 and looking for your next academic position, come chat. I'm hiring another postdoc to work on @NSF-funded polyploid salamander genomics/evolution. $55k/year, 3 years, teaching opportunities built in. Ad: marian.peopleadmin.com/postings/2369 2023 lab portrait:
So fun to chat with Kory about science + music - check out the episode!
Episode 8: Welcome @Sternarchella! We chat with Kory about his research on the evolution of phenotypic diversity, crazy fish skulls, conducting field work all over the world, and how rap + Seinfeld = true art! 🐟🎶💀 soundtrackstoscience.buzzsprout.com/share
Hi #Evol2023! The Kasimatis lab will be joining @uvabio in January 2024. I’m recruiting grad students, a postdoc, and a lab tech. If you’re interested in the evolutionary genomics of sexual conflict, please come chat with me!
New (mini) episode out now! We share some personal updates (including BIG news from Drew), highlight some albums we've been enjoying lately, and shout out our growing base of listeners around the world! soundtrackstoscience.buzzsprout.com/share
TWO FULLY FUNDED POSTDOC POSITIONS AVAILABLE. We're looking for people to help us work on #Epigenetics, #StructuralVariants, #Speciation, #Hybridization and #Migration! Click here: delmorelab.com/recruitment. #postdoc #jobopening #genomics #bioinformatics
Our study on #butterfly #evolution, #hostplants & #ranges is now formally out! We built a phylogeny of 2000 sp and found butterflies originated in N. America 100M years ago, likely fed on legumes. ~100 scientists from 28 countries contributed. Thanks all! nature.com/articles/s4155…
I'll be recruiting PhD students for Fall '24 and would love to help with postdoc applications (PRFB, etc.) - get in touch!
