Thrilled to finally share another chapter from my PhD dissertation, now available on @Mol_ecol!
“Amazonian colonization from the Atlantic Forest: New perspectives on the connections of South American tropical forests” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar…
@Se_Da_Bol @thamnobravo
Thrilled to co-advise this important work:
"Unraveling the genetic parameters, social relationships, and conservation aspects of a group of Touit melanonotus (Brown-backed Parrotlet)"
Check it out: doi.org/10.1093/ornithapp/du…

Welcome Glaucia Del-Rio, our new curator of ornithology! 👏👏👏 🦜🗺️ Along with her curator duties, she wants to establish a collection of cell cultures, both as a scientific resource and as insurance against extinction.
About @glaudelrio + her work:

Out today in @ScienceAdvances. We trace the evolutionary history of a trait under sexual selection in a genus of dancing manakins. Co-led with @hawchuan. science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126…

Check out this cool figure (made with the help of #phytools) in the recent article 'Multimodal signalling in manakins: lack of correlated evolution between acoustic, visual and behavioural traits' in @IBIS_journal by Sonia Ariznavarreta et al.: doi.org/10.1111/ibi.13362.

The more I teach science writing, the more I find that students best learn the basics when they have a concise example to follow. Here's my streamlined version of the ideal empirical paper, annotated with 14 important points. Let me know what you think. What should I change?

DNA-based studies and genetic diversity indicator assessments are complementary approaches to conserving evolutionary potential

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".

Why do some raptors have more than one plumage morph? In a new publication in Ornithology, we outline what is currently known, and the rich research potential provided by plumage polymorphism in this group.

Excited to share my first publication from my dissertation with @ana_bosslady: we used genetic data from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest to investigate when and how ecological traits help us predict intraspecific population differentiation. Check it out in: doi.org/10.1111/ecog.07149

🚨New Paper🚨
A pleasure to share the first paper by one of my lab’s students!😍
Congrats to Leda Stefan + thanks to her coadvisor dr. Thais Zanata.
Our sampling on the birds of Pantanal—the largest tropical inland wetland—is quite limited and biased.

Another paper by “global north” authors ignoring relevant data from the “south”.
(fortunately some of the experts they consulted ammended part of their results)
So here is another short and grumpy thread on “northerners” boycotting initiatives they have no hands on:

Happy to share some of the results of @PabloCerqueir19 PhD dissertation: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… - A new species of antshrike from the Caatinga. Named after the pioneering archaeologist and conservationist Niede Guidon, founder of the Serra da Capivara National Park.

Using ancient DNA recovered from a fossil bone, researchers in @ScienceAdvances have reconstructed a complete genome of the little bush moa, an extinct species of flightless bird that once roamed the forested islands of New Zealand. scim.ag/75U

The biggest hummingbird in the world is a new species.
Now out in @PNASNews and 8 years in the making, here's how we figured it out with mini tracking devices, genomics, and a century and a half of museum specimens.👇
