Thanks to an awesome team, our trio-based de novo mutation rates study is now out! We estimated a rate for 68 vertebrate species and explore the male and female contributions and the impact of life-history traits on the evolution of the rate! Read more:

Now available in early access at @molbioevol "Genomics of Secondarily Temperate Adaptation in the Only Non-Antarctic Icefish".

We describe a new chromosome-level genome assembly for Champsocephalus esox, the *only* #icefish outside Antarctic waters. 1/n

Essential ingredients of the workshop series are not only state-of-the-art bioinformatic methodology, an outstanding faculty, and networking activities, but also a less quantifiable ‘je ne sais quoi’ that we came to love. [3/4]

The #WPSG – Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics – has its roots in the Woods Hole Workshop on Molecular Evolution that took place for the first time in 1988! [2/4]

In 2010, I visited an @Evomics workshop in #CeskyKrumlov for the first time. In 2016, we started our own #evomics series: the #WPSG. This is the story that reflects on the ingredients that make these workshops so enjoyable and successful: https://evolution-outreach.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12052-023-00182-w [1/4]

#Hybridization and #introgression can boost #speciation, but hybridization may also cause loss of #biodiversity - how do species avoid this “dark side of introgression”? Discuss with us @m_matschiner in our symposium no.3 at #SMBE2023 in sunny Italy! https://www.smbe2023.org/

PhD/masters students alert! 2023 Analytical Paleobiology Summer School in Erlangen Germany is on from 21 Aug - 8 Sep2023.

Are you interested in analyzing single-cell lineage tracing data with novel phylogenetic and phylodynamic methods? We are hiring! Join us
@ETH_en@twitter.com
in Basel, Switzerland as a postdoc: https://jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOPG_ethz_OSBXzVpBRMd6N4oVKN - application deadline is Feb. 13. Starting date is flexible.

Together with colleagues from the #GBiKE network funded through #EUCOST, we have analyzed the application of genomic tools for #conservation and management of #biodiversity and #ecosystemservices. Our findings and advice on how #geneticdiversity information can be used more effectively to manage nature #sustainably are summarized in a review article published in #BiologicalConservation: https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1gMma1R~eOyc8 [🧵1/4]

If you're into fishing, like to spend months outdoors, and you've got a friend/partner with those same interests, these PhD positions might be for you: https://nationalpark-gesaeuse.at/wp-content/uploads/Ausschreibung-Dissertation-Sulzkarsee2023.pdf

Had fun working on this one with Gene Hunt and @lhliow highlighting our view of the future growth in macroevolutionary research, and how the new generation of "science tweeners" can get us there.

So, now that my first toot is out of the way... time for my mastodon #introduction: Hi! I am an evolutionary biologist and #curator of vertebrates at the Natural History Museum Basel interested in #speciation and #adaptation #genomics, working (previously) with #stickleback and #cichlids and (as of now) with awesome #gulls.

Just watched an intro phylogenetics lecture by Paul Lewis (University of Connecticut). Lots to learn from it in terms of trees and likelihood, but also how to teach it! Wow!

Thank you phyloseminar.org and Paul Lewis!
