Excited to share part of my dissertation work on hybridization and local adaptation in Ameivula lizards across an elevational gradient 🦎 📍 Room 25A 🕝 Wed, 2:30pm #Evol2026 #PopGen

When two species hybridize, do all genes flow equally? Not quite. Won best graduate student poster at Rutgers Newark Research Week showing that introgression between lizard species is asymmetric and selection may be filtering which loci cross the species boundary. #Evolution #Genomics #Hybridization

Hi #AcademicBluesky! I'm Felipe, a PhD candidate at Rutgers Newark in Marcelo Gehara's lab. I use genomics to understand how environmental drivers and demographic processes shape current patterns of diversity. On the postdoc market! #Evolution #Genomics #EcologyJobs
