Phillip Davidson

Positively thrilled to share I will be joining the Department of Biological Sciences at Mississippi State University (@msstate_biology) in Fall 2025 as an Assistant Professor! Stay tuned for updates on gene regulatory evolution and evo-devo from the Davidson Lab!

Our lab at @msstate_biology is recruiting graduate students (PhD/MSc) to join us in Spring or Fall 2026! If you—or someone you know—are interested in researching evo-devo and comparative genomics of horned dung beetles, check out our site & get in touch! davidsonlab-msu.github.io

Hope this becomes required reading for grad classes!

Moczek-lab members and various hangers on went on a rather unusual field trip this weekend!

We're proud to announce that @veronica_hinman will be joining us as the new director of @UF's #WhitneyLab, starting January 1, 2025! news.ufl.edu/2024/07/whitne…

@blibep @ecoevodevo_lab @EED2024 @IUBiology @IUCollege @NSF Thank you!

@PhilDavidson knocking it out of the park @EED2024! Stay tuned for the Davidson-Lab at Mississippi State University coming online Fall 2025! @IUBiology @IUCollege @nsf

@ecoevodevo_lab @EED2024 @IUBiology @IUCollege @NSF Make that the slightly warmer Mississippi State!

@AvispaTica @msstate_biology Thank you Floria!

Dung beetle central’s newest pets!

Very excited to announce that #EarlGrey has been accepted for publication @MolBioEvol 🥳 thanks to @zanderhayward and James Galbraith for all the work, amazing to share this after many years of work! doi.org/10.1093/molbev… #bioinformatics #transposons #research

Dung beetle central went back to the source today, so to speak! @NCSE @EricaNadolski @rohner_patrick @ezattara @PipettuaJones

Check out our recent work exploring the role of chromatin accessiblity and genome evolution during plastic trait development/diversification: journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a… . Plus three new chromosome-resolved dung beetle genomes to boot! Beetle horns rock! @NSF @PLOSGenetics

It took us forever to get a new lab picture, but here we finally are! Such a fantastic group to be part of! Find out more at ecodevodevo.com @IUCollege @IUBiology @NSF @NCSE
