Congrats to our awesome summer undergrads for completing their projects, & to Apekshya, Mariana & Johanna for winning best presentation & poster awards at the undergrad summer research day. You've all learned a lot & we are proud of what you've accomplished @utmbiology.bsky.social @utm.utoronto.ca

This big chinese mantis (Tenodera sinensis) came to visit our quad on campus today, perhaps in search of a mate. It didn't find a mate but it did find me, and some curious undergrads who exclaimed "WOW, I didn't know we had those in Canada". In fact, they arrived in North America 120 years ago!

"Urbanization" leads to frequent genome-wide signatures of selection specific to both urban & rural habitats. Read the latest paper from our group led by @jssantangelo.bsky.social & Rob Ness: academic.oup.com/evolut/advan... #urbanecology #urbanevolution 🌎 @utmbiology.bsky.social

Excited to see @dmurraystoker.bsky.social's final & very cool PhD paper out in #Oikos today: "Diversity and assembly of the microbiome of a leguminous plant along an urbanization gradient" #urbanecology #urbanevolution #microbiome nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 🌎 🏙️ ☘️

Shocking development: PM Carney plans to cut Science funding by 15%, which would eliminate most of the planned investments the govt just made last year and set Canada further back: www.science.org/content/arti... #SupportOurScience @supportourscience.bsky.social
