The results of my masters research at @ESPMasonU on population genetics of the Atlantic Song Sparrow are out in Evolution! #openaccess Large beaked, heavily streaked, and gray, these coastal birds aren't your typical backyard Song Sparrow. Link: tinyurl.com/f5we3n82

@evornithology Clearly Ivory-billed Woodpeckers.

What species are these? From a paper using AI to detect birds at solar panel sites. Unsure of location, but USA somewhere.

Winsome Earl-Sears every time it’s Abigail Spanberger’s time to answer a question #VAGovDebate #VApolitics

@runbirdgirl Great presentation! Very cool stuff. 🤓

@DrJillStein Just run for a seat in the House if you're so serious about affecting change at the federal level. I find it hard to believe that you're not smart enough to know you have a 0% chance of winning a single state in the POTUS election. #Spoiler4Trump

Democrats sue to kick us off ballots, hire operatives to infiltrate and sabotage us, lock us out of debates, fight ranked-choice voting, then act concerned that Greens have only won 1400 elections. So which party is authentic, and which is predatory?

Does adaptive evolution repeat itself? Our new paper (many years in the making) now out in @ScienceAdvances shows evidence that yes! (1/13) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@keithedwards Wondering if @amhistorymuseum is gonna put Doug's inauguration ball suit on display with the First Ladies' gowns.

Kamala should win for all of the reasons we've been talking about but also because I want to see Doug decorate the White House for Christmas

First PhD chapter is under review. 🤞🥳

@domhall @JeffreyMWard Then "American" because they're the most widely distributed in North/Central America. 😜 Others in the comments suggested Northern Solitaire and Juniper Solitaire, which are undeniably better suggestions than mine. 😂

@JonathanD_Clark @JeffreyMWard Well it’s also found in Mexico. And technically America goes all the way down to Tierra del Fuego… ;)

@jl_williamson @PNASNews Wow, what an awesome study! Congrats. 🤓

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.👇 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 🧵1/

Peek an early look at our @journal_evo paper on temperature-dependent gene regulatory evolution in Atlantic silversides 🐟 lead by @fishyomics with @ntherk, as well as @t_annina and others! academic.oup.com/evolut/article…

No matter where you live, you likely enjoy the companionship of one of the world’s most ubiquitous birds: the sparrow. For World Sparrow Day, we’d like to highlight a Sparrow you’re likely less familiar with. Meet the Sierra Madre Sparrow! 🇲🇽 🐦 bit.ly/3TIGcmP

@KiirstiO See you there! 🤓

Omg, first time I’ve had a paper posted on @Jente_O page. 🤪

1/13 🚨🚨 I am so excited to present our new paper, six years in the making. Here, we provide the first strong evidence that there is a molecular mechanism behind the origins of living fossil lineages! #biology #science #paleontology academic.oup.com/evolut/advance…

@rony_speaks @samridhichat @molecology Whoops, my bad! Here's the correct link: doi.org/10.1111/mec.17…

@JonathanD_Clark @samridhichat @molecology Could you post a non-library link for the paper? That link is not working for ppl outside the institution! Would like to read the paper :)

Just out in @molecology! We used RADseq to characterize the population structures of 3 at-risk coastal sparrows. Species' distributions and other habitat factors drive population structures, not degree of ecological specialization. Read it: …inelibrary-wiley-com.unh.idm.oclc.org/doi/10.1111/me…

Happy centennial to—the official description of—one of my favorite birds, the Atlantic Song Sparrow! In 1924, ornithologist W.E.C. Todd published this coastal sbsp. description based on specimens collected from Cobb & Smith (VA), Pea (NC), and Long (NY) islands.
