Paper out! We tested the ability of short-read pangenomes to capture variants for population genomics. Super excited to have been part of this project. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

now that I have projects on whales and quail… I may have to branch out of vertebrates and get into snails. also, who should I talk to about changing the plural of “quail” to “quails”?

I created this stater pack with women in ecology and evolution. If you want to be added you can comment or DM me, but also please suggest the names of those I am missing 🧪🌎🌐 go.bsky.app/8jFH7cS

Very stoked to get the most recent cover of @sicbjournals.bsky.social! Here's a glorious, pad-reduced viper #gecko (Hemidactylus imbricatus). Check out our the article below and the rest of this awesome issue! doi.org/10.1093/icb/... #GeckoEvoDevo

first post may as well be about this paper from our lab that came out last week! we present a framework for population genomic datasets aimed at making interpretation more approachable, especially for use in conservation onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
