Bummed to miss #Evol2026. For all those students looking for a position, we're recruiting MS students (polyploid genomics) and a PostDoc (conservation genomics) for next year. Shoot me an email!

Member action is needed. Please read the email, review the proposed SSE response, and consider signing on before the June 15 deadline. **Importantly, submit your individualized comment to OMB by July 13!** Screenshots of the full message below. ⬇️

New paper! Evolution of barriers to gene flow in rattlesnake speciation. Congrats to Keaka, Drew, and a big list of awesome collaborators! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

@tywooldr.bsky.social et al. present assemblies for three bear species — the sun, sloth, and Andean bears — and use a whole-genome alignment of all bear species and other carnivores to reconstruct the evolution of Ursidae. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf188 #genome #evolution

Chromosome-scale Genomes Show Rapid Diversification and Ancient Gene Flow Among Bear Species

Abstract. Reconstructions of evolutionary history can be restricted by a lack of high-quality reference genomes. To date, only four of the eight species of

New paper on the phylogenetics of Western Rattlesnakes led by @justbernstein.bsky.social is out now! Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Disentangling a genome-wide mosaic of conflicting phylogenetic signals in Western Rattlesnakes

Species tree inference is often assumed to be more accurate as datasets increase in size, with whole genomes representing the best-case-scenario for e…
