In integrative distributional, demographic and coalescent (iDDC) modelling, a critical component is the statistical relationship between habitat suitability and local population sizes. This study...

Check out our new paper about sea star wasting!! Lots of cool analyses of existing datasets. Lots of hard work, but worth it in the end :)

Do you work on #phylogeography, #phylogenomics, #introgression, or #Amazon #biogeography? I am excited to report that our paper is now out in early view at @systbiol. https://t.co/8bQwNlIUfW 1/5

Abstract. Can knowledge about genome architecture inform biogeographic and phylogenetic inference? Selection, drift, recombination, and gene flow interact

A new study by Melina Giakoumis (@MelinaGia) of @gradcenterbio uses genomics data to show that two species of North Atlantic sea stars are crossbreeding https://t.co/uGZcoXpi5f

🧬🌊 Exciting new pub by recently minted PhD @MelinaGia: extensive hybrid swarm of sea stars revealed by sub-genomic data & putative environmental determinants. Amazing coauthors and huge thanks to all who got out in the lowtide to contribute data! #SeaStarGenomics #HybridZone
It’s here! My 1st chapter is published in Molecular Ecology. I used genomic data to uncover hybridization in sea stars in the N. Atlantic, and explored environmental factors influencing their distribution/genomes. Details in this 🧵 or check it out here: https://t.co/yH08wY4XKm

Thanks @wareslab for the wry observation, here’re my recent tweets in a thread! With a little more information and context at
journalofbiogeographynews.org
After almost four years as Editor-in-Chief with the Journal of Biogeography, I have decided to step down. For the most part, these have been four productive years. We did a lot (see “accompli…

great talk by @frog_phylo: exploring SDM->Ne-density transformations for spatial popgen simulations. Includes spaceprime, a wrapper for msprime enabling 100s of small demes to be simulated dynamically back in time according to an SDM
@cunyeeb @CityCollegeNY student @frog_phylo rocked his talk @Evol_mtg, exploring transformations to be applied to SDM outputs and fed into spatially explicit analyses of genomic and genetic variation
