>900 propagated feltleaf willow (Salix alaxensis) cuttings heading back to Fairbanks tomorrow from @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social to overwinter before planting two common gardens next spring. #EVOME #arcticresearch

One month later @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social #EVOME #arcticresearch

First season @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social #arctic - #EVOME is investigating species’ responses to rapid climatic changes in stream environs @uconnresearch.bsky.social @uconneeb.bsky.social @brandonlind.bsky.social SamiraObbu @airianna-mcguire.bsky.social MaryRutter #REU SarahAntebi #NSF-funded

Excited to see our article on the cover! @drk-lo.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/17550998...

Well deserved!!! Congrats, @jillwegrzyn.bsky.social !!

Now online! Our perspective on the genomic offset simulation paper of @brandonlind.bsky.social and @drk-lo.bsky.social. In short: Genomic offset can predict fitness under changed environments, but performance is reduced under highly novel environments. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Go check out the Org.one workshop at #pag32! Org.one offers free ONT long-read sequencing costs for building reference genomes of IUCN endangered/critically endangered/extinct in the wild species. Today I just received confirmation for sequencing longleaf pine and the red-cockaded woodpecker!

Today is the @botsocamerica.bsky.social virtual symposium “Plant resilience and conservation for a changing climate” starting at 11:00am ET. I’ll be presenting some of my recent genomic offset work at 2:00! Hope to “see” you there! bit.ly/bsa_climate_...

Out now in Molecular Ecology Resources doi.org/10.1111/1755...

Excited to present recent work on genomic offsets - @sse-evolution.bsky.social #Evol2024. Unfortunately I couldn't be there in person, so if you missed my recorded talk, here are QR codes to the manuscripts and here is a link to the talk bit.ly/3WJGVVp

Excited about our bioRxiv paper led by postdoc Megan Ruffley in our lab & Uli Lutz from @plantevolution.bsky.social , using CRISPR on 50 Arabidopsis wild type populations to test a conflict in natural selection between favoring early flowering and water use! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to see this out! @brandonlind.bsky.social tested genomic maladaptation (offset) estimates with common garden data for 2 conifers. Climate adaptation candidate loci were no better than random loci. Populations included in model building matter. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper co-led by postdoc Drew Larson! There are crazy levels of gene tree discordance among the white oaks. (Thanks to the Jim Beam Institute for funding 🥃) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very happy to announce the release of my newest manuscript with Katie Lotterhos! "The limits of predicting maladaptation to future environments using genomic data (1 / n)

eerrec.ucdavis.edu/program (says paused but we will be accepting apps for this year!)

I've been searching for the breakpoints of this adaptive chromosomal inversion for 15 years. We have now finally found those breakpoints and have discovered that the inversion contains an even older large inversion. This and more in this new preprint. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New in MER! Study led by PhD student, Michelle Zavala Paez shows how whole-genome sequencing can be a game-changer for measuring telomere length in plants and help us assess their responses to stress. We’re super excited to continue to expand this work!! buff.ly/3sDj6Dy
