This would be a dream team to work with!

Hey folks going to #evol2025 in Athens. The SSE #DEI committee is sponsoring a workshop on how to avoid bias in writing T&P letters. Registration is required and the workshop is open to all career stages! Please share and help spread the word @sse-evolution.bsky.social @evolmtg.bsky.social

Congratulations to lab member Gabi Alves Ferreira who lead us in this fun project! She modeled how range shifts of neotropical frogs with climate change will change phylogenetic diversity and endemism in the new communities. So great to see this published #ProudPI 💪🐸 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Amidst *everything* going on, I'm still proud to see my 2nd chapter of my PhD out in full in the latest special issue of @animalecology.bsky.social! doi.org/10.1111/1365... (1/4)

These NIH applications have the same materials and the same scoring criteria. Panels were postponed more than a month. Hopefully enough time to make the common-sense decision to reclassify these as standard applications and give full consideration this cycle! www.chronicle.com/article/nih-...

Congratulations to my PhD student Shanelle Wikramanayake for being awarded a Rufford Small Grant and a HCI Michael Dee Grant to support her super cool research on the effects of fragmentation and climate change on rainforest lizards in her home country of Sri Lanka! #rainforest #ClimateChange

New analyses of Italian wolves across time confirms they are genetically and morphologically distinct from other European wolves. Also, there’s as tiny rebound of genetic diversity relative to the 20th century bottleneck. Conservation works! #consgen www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Bluesky has not yet had any Rhombophryne testudo. Let’s fix that. I think it will do all of us some good. 🐸🟤

Congratulations to @robynshaw.bsky.social, @cegrueber.bsky.social, and too many other friends to list here on this important paper in @nature.com on the global extent of genetic diversity loss. It was a pleasure discussing it w/ Elizabeth Pennisi from @science.org. www.science.org/content/arti...

Our long term project has finally been published - genetic diversity is lost worldwide, but we can also make a difference and conservation actions matters. Find out more in the Science news here www.science.org/content/arti... #Consgen

Diversity is pretty neat actually. #SundayFishSketch

What do evolution and adaptation have to do with predicting vulnerability to climate change? Find out in our new paper led by the amazing Dr. @brennaforester.bsky.social and featuring the WORLD'S COOLEST 🐸 just published in Molecular Ecology: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...! #congen

What can genome sequence data reveal about population viability? (And equally important, what CAN'T it reveal??) These are key questions that @martykardos.bsky.social, Lukas Keller, and I address in our new paper in a Molecular Ecology special issue: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... #congens

Good morning from La Hacienda Águila on the Colorado Front Range.

Did you know that orchids have a big chunk of fungal mtDNA stuck in their own mitochondrial genomes?? In this new preprint, we found that fungal-derived tRNAs are functional in the orchid mitochondria. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/4

November 18 is the International Day of LGBQTIA+ People in STEM! Today more than ever we want to stress the importance of communities, building connections, and raising each other up. Let's keep leaving our mark for the betterment of us all! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #QueerinSTEM prideinstem.org/lgbtstemday/

Protection of the genetic diversity within species is a crucial component of biodiversity conservation. Recently, new indicators have been developed to help monitor #GeneticDiversity. We evaluated these indicators in >900 species from 9 countries, using existing genetic and non-genetic data #consgen
