Disentangling variational bias: the roles of development, mutation and selection. DOI: doi.org/10.32942/X2203C

Interested in the evolution of expression noise and how it affects gene retention following duplication? Come to my talk at 10:15 on Sat (516B)!! This is part of the thematic symposium organized by Daniel Weinreich Dan Weinreich and Gonzalez Bravo Ignacio #Evol2024

I have received tenure!! I am grateful to my lab for making science a joyous endeavor. UCLA EEB has been an unequivocally supportive dept and I am grateful to my colleagues, who have been major advocates of my career. Thank you to my mentors, friends, colleagues, and lab members!

#ESA2024 is in about a week! I would love to catch up with old friends/colleagues and to meet new ones! Also, we will recruit graduate students for fall 2025 through the EEB department at the University of Arizona University of Arizona EEB. Feel free to get in touch so that we can talk.

Extremely honored to be elected to help lead American Ornithological Society for the next four years! Many exciting things to come in the world of birds!!

I'll be talking Thurstady 8 1:30 PM – 3:00 at COS 195 - Species Interactions 4. Blanca Arroyo-Correa and Lili Buche will also present in that session. Virginia Dominguez Wed 7, 10:00 AM COS 118. Oscar Godoy Mon 5, 3:30 PM COS 019. #RadicalCommunityEcology.

On my way to #ESA2024! Come to my session on ‘Aligning Climate Mitigation and Biodiversity Conservation’, Tuesday 8am ☀️ Send me a message if you want to chat about #climatechange #invasivespecies and/or #biodiversity🌱✨

We are looking for two graduate students (to start in fall 2025) and 1-2 postdocs (flexible start dates) at the EEB department at the University of Arizona. I am at #ESA2024; feel free to reach out if you are interested. Please RT to spread the word. Thanks!

Excited to see how irreversibility metric developed for non equilibrium physics can also measure how far an ecological system is from dynamic equilibrium. Glad to be part of this stimulating work led by Junang Li Chuliang Song together with Stephan Munch

Excited to present at #ESA2024 today (8/8) at 3:30pm in Room 203C! 🗓️ Together with Jonathan Levine, we've developed a rigorous new test for ecological model validity events.rdmobile.com/Lists/Details/…

Glad to have Physics Magazine feature our work on emergent chirality in rotating organoid dx.doi.org/10.1103/PRXLif…

Having observed an ecosystem under some dynamical regimes, can we reveal hidden regimes at unseen environmental conditions (e.g. after a tipping point)? Pretty excited to share this study where we introduce a data-driven computational approach to do so. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

An elegantly humorous review contextualizing assembly graph theory and ecological assembly. There are only 2 equations!

How much shared evolutionary history informs the way species interact with each other? Me, Zach and Stefano worked hard to address this question in a creative way! I hope you enjoy the reading! Thrilled to see this out after starting this 5 years ago onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

The panel we've been crafting since May is finally ready to take the stage! We're thrilled to present an incredible lineup of panelists representing a diverse array of fields. Get ready for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion in Mandarin!

The Spasojevic and Ostevik labs at UC-Riverside are jointly recruiting one graduate student to pursue a Ph.D. in the evolutionary ecology of alpine plants. (1/n)

So excited to see this research on range shifts and phenology shifts come out! Climate change responses are complex and multidimensional, and here Monte Neate-Clegg and I try to tackle this in a holistic way, and of course we do it for all North American birds 🤓
