Lots of fun talking lemur genomics at @Concordia University for the Montreal Genomics series last night! nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

3. Many lemurs have really high genomic diversity when compared to most other primates. We found a pervasive pattern of interspecific gene flow among those species that likely occurred during Pleistocene forest fragmentation and reconnection #RetreatDispersal

4. There is also another great paper on mouse lemur diversification in the new edition of @natureecoevo from van Elst et al., so be sure to check it out! That's their amazing mouse lemur photo on the cover! nature.com/natecolevol/volum… nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

Nature Ecology & Evolution - Lemur evolution

Madagascar is home to an extraordinary level of endemic biodiversity, but quantifying this is complicated by cryptic diversity among some genera such as...

1. Dramatic recent population declines are consistent with the timing of human population expansion across Madagascar during the last 2000 years & a shift toward the consumption of smaller lemurs following the extinction of other larger bodied species #SubsistenceShiftHypothesis

2. Species in the same ecogeographic regions have similar patterns of demographic history. The ecological demands of Madagascar’s wet and dry forest ecosystems have shaped the population size and genomic diversity of many species of lemurs throughout the Pleistocene

Ever wonder how biology and culture interact when we make fermented foods? @DrFlachsophone and I made a lot of kimchi with Sandor Katz to find out. tinyurl.com/4p3amk6t

Fermented foods sustain both microbiomes and cultural heritage

From kimchi to kombucha and sauerkraut to sourdough, many traditional food staples across cultures make use of fermentation. And these variations are reflected in your microbiome.

We wrote the piece in The Conversation as a follow-up to our 2021 article "On pickles", which will forever be my peak performance in academic article titling ethnobiomed.biomedcentral.co…

On pickles: biological and sociocultural links between fermented foods and the human gut microbiome

Hey! Take a look at our cool, new, long-read ring-tailed lemur genome assembly! @PalmadaMarc @MarquesBonetLab academic.oup.com/gigascience…

A high-quality, long-read genome assembly of the endangered ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta)

Abstract. Background: The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a charismatic strepsirrhine primate endemic to Madagascar. These lemurs are of particular inte

Check it out! 🙌🏽 My first first-authored paper (ah!) — couldn’t be more excited ☺️ Thank you to my fantastic advisor @bergeycm for being such a strong and motivating mentor!!!

New preprint! We investigated how the immune system of wild colobus monkeys reacts to Hepatocystis, a cousin of the malaria that plagues humans. It's the first first-author pub by the wonderful Amber Trujillo (@ambrquerquetrky)! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
