Our new paper in @nature shows that protected areas work. They slow wildlife declines by as much as five times. Groups like amphibians and birds benefit most from protected areas. Stellar work with @JustiNowakowski Jessie Deichmann Luke Owen Frishkoff Link to paper: rdcu.be/dnaFG

Domestication is Associated with Increased Interspecific Hybrid Compatibility in Landfowl (Order: Galliformes) dlvr.it/SwlXhJ

Deep learning reveals the role of copy number variation in the genetic architecture of a highly polymorphic sexual trait. Wouter van der Bijl did it all - selection experiment, pedigrees, neural nets, GWAS - for the architecture of color and pattern in guppies biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

nanopore: Single-fly assemblies fill major phylogenomic gaps across the Drosophilidae Tree of Life dlvr.it/Sww3Fn

This finding was a surprise for us. We never thought we could pinpoint the start of puffin hybridization in the Arctic to such a recent point in time: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Check out the many contributers!

The MX Biobank paper is out today in nature! This is the first national-scale genomic database in Mexico and the largest independent project led by my lab Cinvestav since I returned to my home country to help building local capacity. rdcu.be/dojZ5

Kristin Winchell tells UTM Biology about using urban environments as natural "laboratories" to study ecology and evolution. Beautiful and compelling work of how Anolis lizards adapt to urban environments from genotype to phenotype #urbanevolution #urbanecology

New year, new book. Out soon. global.oup.com/academic/produ… #BobWongLab School of Biological Sciences, Monash

What does it take to live longer? #PrincetonU professor ctmurphy1.bsky.social set out to find the answers in her new book, "How We Age: The Science of Longevity." (via @njmonthly) bit.ly/46KKWMd

It was such an honor and incredible learning experience to serve on the selection committee with such a diverse and brilliant group of scholars. Many thanks to National Book Foundation for the opportunity.

Representation matters. In all corners of society. So glad I could make a small contribution to this message and celebration of the power of black stories.

Hi, Beth! 👋 We’re excited to introduce our NEW Chief Science Officer, Beth Shapiro, Ph.D. (Beth Shapiro)! A world-renowned evolutionary molecular biologist with an incredible list of accolades and accomplishments—read on to learn more! #deextinction #innovation #bioscience

It was amazing to celebrate the winners of the 2024 Science+Literature Awards. These truly inspiring individuals exemplify how story telling elevates our understanding, curiosity and sense of wonder about the living world, the universe, and our place in it all. #tellstories

We’re nominated for Webby! Support ya boy and cast a vote for #HumanFootprintPBS!

Happy to announce my promotion to Associate Professor at Princeton. So many people deserve their flowers for helping and inspiring me along way (far too many to mention here). I see you, I appreciate you and I'll work hard to pay your kindness forward as I continue the journey.👊🏿

Amazing surprise that Evolution Earth won best series at this year’s International Wildlife film festival. I had so much fun narrating this series and introducing an audience to many of my brilliant colleagues. PBS PASSION PICTURES

After 25 years, PBS and BBC are blending science with the latest and greatest in CGI to ressurect Walking with Dinosaurs after 25 years! One of the most epic natural history series in history and a huge influence in my pursuit of a career in biology. pbs.org/about/about-pb…

I will be narrating the new Walking with Dinosaurs digital short series for PBS and BBC! It will explore the science and scientists behind the incredible stories told in the TV series. Excited to introduce some of my incredible colleagues to the world! youtube.com/watch?v=Y4qqoy…
