🚨MS position in my lab!🚨 Conservation genomics of Pecos pupfish which persist in extreme habitats in saline springs and gypsum sinkholes in the Chihuahuan Desert. Details w/ eligibility and how to apply: preglerlab.com/join Questions should be sent by email. Pls share! 🐟

Advertisement for a Pecos pupfish MS assistantship. The Pregler Lab in the USGS New Mexico Cooperative Research Unit and the Department of Fish, Wildlife, & Conservation Ecology invite applications for a MS assistantship beginning fall 2024. This position will focus on conservation genomics of Pecos pupfish populations in New Mexico. The student will investigate (1) population structure, (2) evidence of selection/local adaptation, & (3) potential admixture with sheepshead minnow. Results will help guide future translocation efforts and inform a genetic monitoring plan for Pecos pupfish. Benefits include $26,252 annual salary, tuition waiver, health insurance reimbursement, and funding for travel to conferences and workshop training. Applications are due December 15th 2023. Eligibility and application instructions can be found in the full announcement posted at https://www.preglerlab.com/join.

In addition to waterfalls, Cape Race salmon populations are cut off from their ocean-going cousins by other spectacular barriers, like a river that never reaches the Atlantic because it percolates through a massive gravel bar 🤯

Cape Race is home to dwarf Atlantic salmon and dwarf brook trout for a spectacular reason: many of the tiny streams they inhabit terminate with waterfalls straight into the Atlantic ocean, cutting them off from each other and from mixing with their bigger sea-run cousins

Bolson tortoise release at Armendaris Ranch last week. These tortoises are part of an experimental population to reintroduce this endangered species to New Mexico. My colleague Abby Lawson’s graduate student, Heather Zimba, is tracking movement & survival of these animals. 🐢🌎
