Revisiting the relationship between stomatal size and speed across species – a meta-analysis Nik Woning, et al. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #PlantScience

Nice new review on my favorite topic. www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Congratulations to @alaynamead.bsky.social and the entire #PopUpPoplars team for this collaborative effort predicting genotypic responses across environments. This research uses 17 replicated ‘mini gardens’ to predict role of mixed ancestry to growth, survival, and expansion to novel environments

New paper out! Thrilled to share our latest work on cytonuclear interactions in Populus hybrid zones, now published in Proceedings B. We show how mismatches between nuclear and chloroplast genomes influence key physiological traits in tree species @jillahamilton.bsky.social doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Always learning, always sharing, how trees adapt today, and how they’ll keep adapting as our world changes. Thanks #EVOLTREE for the opportunity to be part of such an amazing conference

Just published! 🌿 Our new study uncovers how hybridization and climate selection interact to shape stomatal trait evolution across six Populus contact zones. @jillahamilton.bsky.social If you’re curious about how hybridization influence adaptive trait variation, take a look doi.org/10.1111/nph....

Very much a #proudPI moment when your PhD students @michellezavala.bsky.social and @krlopicc.bsky.social give such lovely presentations of their research. So glad to have the opportunity to join the #EvolTREE meeting and share our ongoing research and learn from diverse systems across Europe.

I am currently searching for a new postdoctoral researcher to study the evolution, genetics, and physiology of cold acclimation and freezing tolerance in switchgrass at Michigan State University. This work will be funded by a newly funded five-year DOE grant. careers.msu.edu/jobs/researc...

Climate and hybridization shape #stomatal trait evolution in #Populus 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... by Zavala-Paez et al. @WileyPlantSci @michellezavala.bsky.social @jillahamilton.bsky.social

I am looking to hire a postdoc interested in combining genetics and evolution to understand why telomeres vary so much in plants. My group has been developing Mimulus a genetic model for studying plant telomeres and we have really cool research brewing. Please check ad for detail. Deadline is 12/31.

It is official! DR. @michellezavala.bsky.social defended a very impressive dissertation today!! With friends, family, stomata cookies, and Ecuadorian Guinea pigs cheering her along! We understand so much more about the consequences of hybridization to the evolution of physiological traits!! #proudPI

Hamilton Lab members are excited for the upcoming #EvolTREE meeting! Kyra will present our genetic conservation program in black ash , Michelle will discuss climate, hybridization, and stomatal evolution (tinyurl.com/y5rwu8eu), and I will discuss genomics-driven monitoring. Hope to see you there!!

Our department at UBC is hiring for a professor of forest ecophysiology, including "tree ecophysiology; plant abiotic or biotic stress physiology; forest mortality and climate change responses; forest carbon balance; tree water relations; or nutrient use." Learn more at: tinyurl.com/5da56f5c

🚨 1 Week Left to Apply! 🚨 The Krieg Lab is hiring a Research Professional in Plant Ecophysiology & Evolution. 📅 Deadline: October 1, 2025 📧 Sending materials (Cover Letter, CV, References) to: kriegc[at]wfu.edu

First (annual?) Hamilton lab off-grid camping trip to Bald Eagle State Forest. Good company, scenery, s’mores and so much more. Food for the soul!! I’m a very #luckyPI to work with this amazing group!

Please share! Our lab is recruiting a PhD student to join us starting fall 2026. Our group is broadly interested in plant molecular evolution and comparative genomics. More info about our lab and grad programs at Colorado St. is available on our lab website. sites.google.com/site/danielb...

Please RT! I'm hiring a postdoc to work in my new lab at UCSB (!) on an NSF-funded project investigating the phenotypic consequences of WGD for photosynthesis and respiration. Check out the full posting here: recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02986 And more info about the lab here: sharbroughlab.com

Just out in Science: we demonstrate a micro-evolutionary shift in a single generation, involving thousands of genomic loci, giving younger ash trees more resistance to ash dieback, on average, than their parents www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adp2990

Honored to be appointed a Penn State Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences Leadership Fellow position. I am deeply grateful and thrilled to provide creativity and leadership within interdisciplinary spaces, emphasizing graduate training and evolutionary biology. www.psu.edu/news/faculty...

It begins!! Welcome to #forestgenetics2025 - where all the cool kids are hanging! #trees4everyone @michellezavala.bsky.social @diegodelorbe.bsky.social @krlopicc.bsky.social

Getting ready to go!! Beautiful center pieces courtesy of our PSU graduate students, @michellezavala.bsky.social and @krlopicc.bsky.social at #forestgenetics2025 How well do you know your trees? We’ll find out!! Counting down to welcome all to the Happy Valley!! forestgeneticsconference2025.com
