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

RT @Jente_O: ✍️New story on the #AvianHybrids blog!. Why are there only three species of Emerald Doves?. Based on t….

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:

RT @Jenna_Merle: The first chapter of my dissertation is available on @biorxivpreprint. We resequenced genomes of all species (& subspecies….

RT @kulibraries: Island chains offer a laboratory for observing changes over time as species adapt to environmental differences . great r….

Thanks so much to @kulibraries for the funding assist to get this paper published open access! @kunhm @KUnews.

New paper in @EvolLetters (open access: . 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".

RT @IBIS_journal: Genomic patterns in the dwarf kingfishers of northern Melanesia reveal a mechanistic framework explaining the paradox of….

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"

RT @Jon_Chase03: I agree with every word Brian McGill writes. Academic publishing is a mess, we are publishing too much, and letting for-p….

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!.

RT @omys_omics: Check out triangulaR, my new R package for building triangle plots! I explore how sample size of parental pops and allele f….

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!.

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

RT @JustBernstein: And here it is! Our study identifies both inland tectonic and environmental factors that were the likely drivers of dive….
