Happy to share a new publication @BioInvasions using genomic data to reveal the sources of introduced white-eye populations in Hawaii and southern California. We show that these introduced pops are totally independent, with no evidence of admixture link.springer.com/article/10…

UCLA will be hosting the upcoming Southern California Evolutionary Genetics (SCalE) conference on November 1! Registration & abstract submission is here: scalemeeting.org/home Deadline is October 13! Hope to see you at UCLA!

✍️New story on the #AvianHybrids blog!
Why are there only three species of Emerald Doves?

Based on the Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution paper by @Dev_Der et al. | #ornithology
Brand new manuscript, led by @LHDeCicco "Phylogeography of the Island Leaf Warbler Reveals Rapid Secondary Sympatry or Ecological Speciation". Totally open access in @ssbbulletin, learn more about the complex evolutionary history of this iconic group: ssbbulletin.org/index.php/bs…

The first chapter of my dissertation is available on @biorxivpreprint. We resequenced genomes of all species (& subspecies) of rapidly radiating genus of Indo-pacific kingfishers.

Island chains offer a laboratory for observing changes over time as species adapt to environmental differences ... great read on dwarf kingfishers from @Dev_Der and the ornithology team at @kunhm, viewable for free thanks to #OpenAccess deals.
New paper in @EvolLetters (open access: academic.oup.com/evlett/adva…). Using dwarf kingfishers as a model, we believe we've constructed the most complete and explicit published framework explaining the underlying mechanistic causes of the classic "paradox of the great speciators".

Thanks so much to @kulibraries for the funding assist to get this paper published open access! @kunhm @KUnews
Excited to share this new paper led by Moyle Lab postdoc @StephenMBaca out now in @Systematic_Ent titled "A shallow-scale phylogenomics approach reveals repeated patterns of diversification among sympatric lineages of cryptic Neotropical aquatic beetles" resjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

I agree with every word Brian McGill writes. Academic publishing is a mess, we are publishing too much, and letting for-profit publishers drive us into the ground. And we’re all complicit in this! – at Leipzig, Germany

Congrats to former KU postdoctoral researcher Tyrone Lavery and members of the KU Ornithology Division - Robert Moyle, Devon DeRaad, & Lucas DeCicco, on releasing a journal article about a rare evolutionary phenomenon occurring in bats.🦇 phys.org/news/2024-04-specie… via @physorg_com

Excited to share our pre-print for a shiny new Florida-Scrub Jay genome assembly and annotation! Long-read sequencing and a linkage map helped us add ~260 Mb of sequence and find a few more chromosomes in comparison to previous assemblies. @popgenchen ✨🧬

Exciting new R package from @omys_omics with simple and clearly defined functions for building triangle plots from empirical genomic datasets. If you are interested in descriptive popgen approaches for quantifying hybridization, check this out!
Check out triangulaR, my new R package for building triangle plots! I explore how sample size of parental pops and allele frequency difference thresholds influence hybrid index and interclass heterozygosity estimates, see more here:

Out now in @journal_evo, we use morphology and genomics to document repeated, convergent body size shifts (which have misled taxonomy for decades) within a radiation of leaf-nosed bats in the Solomon Islands academic.oup.com/evolut/adva…
Thanks to lead-author @TyroneLavery for introducing me to this extraordinarily cool group of bats, and for being a great collaborator on this exciting project!

And here it is! Our study identifies both inland tectonic and environmental factors that were the likely drivers of diversification in rice paddy #snakes.
