Check out our new paper in @ASNAmNat We used museum specimens, phylogenetic comparative methods, and evolutionary quantitative genetic approaches to show how (co)variation and selection shaped the cranial evolution of neotropical leaf-nosed bats. doi.org/10.1086/729219

Our new paper is out in @ScienceMagazine! By exploring the rich genetic diversity of Brazil, we show how fine-scale genomic analyses reveal that this diversity, rooted in Indigenous ancestry and centuries of complex demographic history, plays a key role in population health.

@grahamjslater @UChicagoPaleo Congratulations @AlexaWimberly and @grahamjslater !!

Huge congrats to Dr. Alexa Wimberly who successfully defended her dissertation this week. There are many good things to come from Alexa, so keep an eye open! We'll miss her @UChicagoPaleo but she'll rock in her post doc at the AMNH!

Heads up! We’ll soon announce two postdoc positions in the Biovision Lab. One in AI-driven computational paleontology, and one in computer vision applied to biology (open-ended). Official ads to follow. Please RT! biovisionlab.com #Postdoc #AI #Paleontology

How much shared evolutionary history informs the way species interact with each other? Me, Zach and Stefano worked hard to address this question in a creative way! I hope you enjoy the reading! Thrilled to see this out after starting this 5 years ago onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

"What traps clades into confined regions of “phenotypic spaces”? When comparative analyses are paired with evidence from multiple fields, even these “abominable mysteries” can be potentially understood. “Evolvability” may provide good starting points in this enterprise." (🧵1/2)

@paulinhaaprigio @iserrapilheira Sensacional!! Parabéns, Paulinha!!

Muito muito obrigada @iserrapilheira! Mal posso esperar parar desvendar se seleção natural contribuiu para que o sabiá-laranjeira tivesse esse enorme sucesso nas cidades brasileiras! Estou recrutando alunes para me ajudar nessa tarefa ;-) serrapilheira.org/ano/chamada-pu…

“Giving wings to diversity: the spectacular bats of the Brazilian Amazon” - as part of the great upcoming 12 Congresso Brasileiro de Mastozoologia, Búzios, RJ, late September! @SBMastozoologia

My cave, my rules: Specialization, modularity, and topology of bat‐fly interactions in hot and cold caves from eastern S America. From the work of my brilliant ex-student, now Dr. ⁦@GUrbieta⁩ 🦇🪰 ⁦@GlobalBatNet⁩ ⁦@sbeq⁩ ⁦⁦@Relcom_ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Our paper in @ScienceMagazine demonstrates that microevolutionary evolvability can predict evolutionary divergence across timescales spanning thousands to millions of years, linking evolution across these vast time intervals. Work led by @AgnesHolstad science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🌟 Excited to share our latest paper on galago systematics and phylogenetics! Want to know more about the diversity and evolutionary history of living and extinct galagos? @PozziLab and I got you covered! tinyurl.com/galagosyst

It's a wrap! 🎉🎉🎉 With the completion of #oVertTCN, the doors of natural history museum collections have been digitally unlocked allowing scientists, educators, artists & the public to interact with specimens in ways never before possible. Story: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/scient…

Pumped to have the opportunity to participate on this. Congrats to all the authors! The #oVertTCN paper in @AIBSbiology BioScience is out today. Excited for future collaboration through #FuncQEE @codythompson51 @davidcblackburn academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv…

So happy to see this out as part of our @NSF research! This paper opens many avenues of research about the mechanisms driving these bursts which is what we are currently investigating with @Sears_Lab

Understanding how landscape structure affects yellow fever virus dispersion can aid better landscape planning and better organisation of vaccination campaigns. Awesome work now awarded once more! 🇧🇷🛣️🌳🌴🪚🦟🐒🤒🪦ecohealthalliance.org/2023/05/ecohea…

I am very proud! The Phenotypic Evolution Time Series (PETS) database is now online! pets.nhm.uio.no PETS is a public database containing data on phenotypic change within (fossil and contemporary) lineages. Why did we make it? A short 🧵

Uniting theory and fieldwork, mathematics and ecology. Proud to introduce a new field course paradigm, and testify that "at the border of disciplines, progress occurs" 💚🌳📈

Told my 5-year-old that I had a paper published in @Nature (the most famous scientific journal). She replied: Does it mean you are now more famous than @shakira ? 😆😆😆 Anyway, check out our new paper!
