@debbiemleigh.bsky.social and I are inviting abstracts for our symposium S05 showcasing research at the interface of molecular evolution, population genomics, and biodiversity monitoring.

On behalf of the Department of Oceanography at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, we are excited to invite applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in Ocean Biogeochemical Modeling at the rank of assistant professor. www.schooljobs.com/careers/hawa... position number 0082726

We have reached 1.4 degrees celsius #globalheating according to NASA data (smooth black trend line). Breaching 1.5 is now inevitable. From now on the fight is to keep overshoot as small and short as possible.

🍂 🏛️ 👿 🧪 US Congress Bill to Prohibit Funding for Research with China Proposal bars funding for US scientists working with Chinese partners or training Chinese students; bill is retroactive - interactions in previous 5 yrs could cause ineligibility for future Federal funding

Interesting genomic perspectives…food for thoughts!

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want more walkable cities.

I wouldn't board an aircraft, a bus, a train, a ship or even get in a car that had a 5% chance of crashing. Now AMOC collapse is closing in on over 25% probability we are all being boarded to a mad future. Excellent eye opener of a presentation. Educate yourself, watch it. youtu.be/ULJXqOZuY-8

Never forget: At breakneck speed we are leaving the stable Holocene climate in which human society developed and thrived. Weather extremes are outside historical experience. Sea-level rise is accelerating. Dangerous tipping points are ahead. Graph: ed-hawkins.github.io/climate-visu...

We’re filling the atmosphere with CO2 like a bathtub with water. Most of it stays for millennia. That is why the cumulative emissions (the total amount, as pictured here) and not yearly emissions determine the amount of #globalwarming.

In a new Review article in GBE, @scientific-arlie.bsky.social et al delve into the growing field of phylogenetic genotype to phenotype mapping (PhyloG2P), discussing advances and future directions for using phylogenomic data to map traits to genomes 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf150 #genome #evolution

#LIBresearch reveals that the ancient Nautilus uses a ZZ/Z0 system: males have two Z chromosomes (ZZ), females only one Z (Z0). They also found 36 genes linked to male reproduction, giving a peek into how these “living fossils” pass on their traits. 🔬 👉 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Are you interested in open ocean organisms? Specifically the one's at the surface? 🪼 🐌 🌊 If so, message me. We are starting a collaborative community to exchange ideas and communicate research. The field is new, so let's push it in the right direction together! 💙

#LIBresearch finds African cichlids often lack fixed sex chromosomes—many use homomorphic, sometimes polygenic systems. Linkage group 3 (LG3), a chromosome, often carries sex-linked genes, but new sex-linked regions also arise across lineages. 👉 doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... #evolution #genetics
