The University of Iceland postdoctoral grants are now open for applications. Reach out if you’re interested in applying to work with us at the research centre in the Westman islands, we have potential projects available on a number of topics english.hi.is/research/unive…

ancIBD update available! ⬇️ Yilei Huang implemented two new modes: 1) Calling IBD on the X 2) Calling double IBD (e.g. in full siblings) We hope that helps to resolves some aDNA pedigree riddles 🦴🧬🕵‍♀️

A free online two-weeks crash course in evolutionary biology for students who did not have much exposure to evolutionary biology yet. Ideal for applying for a PhD or Master. evobiocrashcourse.github.io. Run by an excellent team of grad students on 10-21 of June. Register by 4 June.

New pre-print! We looked at whether phenotypic plasticity towards environmental cues only present in ancestral habitats (past-cue plasticity) promotes rapid adaptation to completely different cues in new habitats. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Exciting postdoc opportunity!

Reduced recombination at adaptive loci, estimated from recombination rates in hybrid stickleback. Very cool! nature.com/articles/s4155…

A thoughtful letter highlighting examples of racism in Cuvier's behaviour, beliefs and writing. The authors call for a renaming of Cuvier's beaked whale. I support their call doi.org/10.1111/mms.13…

Down memory lane. Andres Moreno-Estrada and I started working together 10 years ago at Stanford. Since then, we had big dreams for Mexican science. The success of #SMBE2024 is a materialization of such dreams. 🇲🇽🧬❤️‍🔥

Hey #evolution2024 I am recruiting a postdoc, starting as early as September 2024, to work on a variety of evolutionary genomics projects in my lab at UC Riverside. Project specifics are flexible, and the position is renewable up to five years. Please RT and get in touch!
