No Pedigree, No Problem: Genomic Inbreeding Tracks Genetic Rescue With High Resolution

With increasing habitat fragmentation and population isolation, inbreeding becomes a pressing concern for the persistence of wildlife populations. Detailed inbreeding monitoring is crucial for assess...

maybe my favorite paper I've written, I have a synthesis out today early access in @asn-amnat.bsky.social today that attempts to answer a simple but slippery question: what is an elevational range? doi.org/10.1086/737130

Incredibly excited to announce that I will be starting as an assistant professor and curator of vertebrate collections at Northern Arizona University! I feel very fortunate to be joining such a wonderful department and also to live in a southwestern mountain town like Flagstaff — a dream come true!

the ad is up! applications due 7/15: evol.mcmaster.ca/brian/evoldi...

Ethan Linck@elinck.bsky.social · last yr.

ad to come, but I'm looking for an M.S. student to study the conservation genomics of swift foxes on the American Prairie Reserve in Montana beginning 9/1. this is a collaboration w/ Smithsonian & Justine Becker; strong candidates will have prior genomics experience and be up for remote fieldwork

Thrilled to see the last of my dissertation work out in @pnas.org ! We addressed some long-standing questions in leopard frogs across Mexico and Central America, discovering three undescribed species and taxonomic overinflation in 10 others. 🐸 www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

Right, we messed up our own email address in yesterday's post. Let's try again: do you love evolutionary biology and art? Then our new logo contest may be for you!

Bears Ears always delivers, this time with a greater short-horned lizard! I’ve never found one this colorful before 😍

Please share: @UBCScience is searching for 15 TT faculty in diverse areas of expertise science.ubc.ca/about/careers. Included are 2 positions in Quantitative and Environmental Science as part of a hiring cluster for black faculty; you will join 6 current UBC faculty science.ubc.ca/blackscholars.

ALGATR! I saw this presented at Evolution in Albuquerque and got very very excited

Have geospatial genomic data and want to hammer out landscape analyses? Check out this new swiss army knife that does it all from @chamberea.bsky.social et al, built to handle California Conservation Genomic Project scale data onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Want to use landscape genomics for conservation? Curious about how to apply these methods to individual-based sampling? Not to worry– use algatr! Our new paper w/ co-first author @anushabishop.bsky.social and coauthor Ian Wang is out in MER! More below ⬇️ #OA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
