Are you looking to sequence a bunch of samples from a wild population in low-coverage but don't have a reference panel? You might be surprised how well it can work. See for yourself in our new benchmark study:

Benchmarking imputation accuracy in the presence or absence of a reference panel
Abstract. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of a large number of samples is costly. Solutions include targeting a proportion of the genome (eg SNP arrays) or l

I'm excited to share that our preprint is now available on bioRxiv! Our study challenges the widespread use of molecular genetic diversity as a predictor adaptive potential, with important implications for how genetic data is used to inform conservation decisions.

Nucleotide diversity is a poor predictor of short-term adaptive potential
A capacity to adapt is essential for a population to avoid extinction in a changing world and is recognised as a global conservation priority. Adaptation requires additive (heritable) genetic variatio...

Our new
@science.org
paper is out! Cuckoos and hosts are locked in a coevolutionary arms race over egg mimicry. But how are these egg types inherited, and could this drive speciation? We sequenced hundreds of genomes to find out!

Genomic architecture of egg mimicry and its consequences for speciation in parasitic cuckoos
Host-parasite arms races facilitate rapid evolution and can fuel speciation. Cuculus cuckoos are deceptive egg mimics that exhibit a broad diversity of counterfeit egg phenotypes, representing host-ad...

weird fact: there are some ants with only a single chromosome, while some butterflies shred their genome into multiple "microchromosomes" π§¬ππ¦

π¨π!!! Check out our new paper where we investigate the impact of a soil level (SoilTemp) dataset on niche shifts of introduced ant species globally β using soil temperatures often lessens the extent of niche shifts between native and introduced ranges! π π

1/7 Cumulative culture/knowledge occurs when information builds up across generations through a combination of innovation and transmission. In our new paper, we investigate the role of teaching and its coevolution with learning in this process. π

Excited to share our new preprint on barn owls revealing how parental roles are flexibly negotiated outside the nest! Using simultaneous GPS + accelerometer tracking, we captured 20,000+ hunting attempts from 68 breeding pairs:
