🐟 Excited to share our latest paper on the adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake Victoria, now out in Nature (nature.com/articles/s4158…)! A continuous fish fossil record from sediment cores shows a dramatic change in the fish community around 13ka. 🧵

In the eye of the beholder: See our latest work by Virginie Ricci et al. in Science Advances on visual opsin gene expression dynamics in the massive adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake Tanganyika, with a great cover by Angel Fitor.

!more 🔥 #SMBE2023 in the san paolo cloisters!
stop by my poster #824 to hear about hybridization and trait evolution in wild Galápagos 🍅s...

Very low mutation rate in the guppy 🐟 and the detection of mutations that are present in multiple siblings!

Amazing beer choice by ⁦Julia MI Barth⁩ at #smbe2023

Are you at #SMBE23 and passionate about #populationgenomics and #speciesdiversity ? Let’s have a dive into the origins of genetic diversity in #cichlid fishes. Come today to my poster (no. 286) at San Paolo cloisters!

SAVE THE DATE: We are happy to announce that the Workshop on Phylogenomics 2024 will take place on January 21st - February 2nd. Save it in your calendars, and share it with those interested! More info to come soon!

We confirmed this potential across a broad range of settings with datasets simulated with msprime, showing that both D-statistics and tree-based methods can be affected biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our new paper hot off the press Nature Communications on #Genomics of cold adaptations in the #Antarctic #notothenioid fish radiation. A culmination of years of work with a great team of collaborators

Ever wondered what happens to somatic mutations 🧬 in plants 🌳? Are they frequent? Are they transmitted to the next generation 🌱? See our new study with Sylvain Schmitt, Niklas Tysklind, Tibo Leroy 🥼🔗🌐, João Loureiro 🧬 🍒 🌸 🐝 and others! doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…
