lo maravillo de las colecciones biologicas, muchas veces fueron (son) menospreciadas, pero tienen un valor incalculable #coleccionesbiologicas

Indeed, there is huge potential in analysing #herbaria and #museum collections to study #biological #invasions. Great review! 👏👇

The breadth of potential synergies between biological invasion & climate change deserves more attention from ecologists. theconversation.com/extreme-weathe…

My lab at UCSD is recruiting a postdoc in Evolutionary Genomics. Fully funded for 2-5 years. Part of a 5 year NIH grant on predictability of evolutionary trajectories. Email drennison(at)ucsd.edu if interested.

🌟 Exciting #HonoursProject on offer for 2024-2025 at #OrtizBarrientosLab UQ News! We have a variety of projects exploring the genetics of adaptation! 🧬🔬 #EvolutionaryGenetics. Details are in subsequent tweets. Australian Society of Plant Scientists Australasian Evolution Society #EvolutionaryGenetics. Please help me

The Kreiner and Carley Labs at The University of Chicago E&E are co-hiring a Lab Manager/Research Technician position in Plant Evolutionary Ecology & Genomics. Please see the link for more details and instructions on how to apply: bit.ly/UChiPlantTech2…

Pleased to announce that Susan Johnston and I will be hosting a symposium at Evolution Meetings #evol2024: "Recombination Rate Variation: Causes, Consequences, and Evolution". All are free to apply, see evolutionmeetings.org for details! Please share/RT.

Quote: “Plant extinction (caused by invasion) is an agonizingly slow process. However, red flags are evident in numerous locations around the world — species that now exist in fragmented populations, with radically reduced opportunities to reproduce.” therevelator.org/six-degrees-pl…

How will invasive species respond to other components of global change, like extreme weather events or biodiversity loss? We are organizing a Special Issue Global Change Biology on this topic. Broad contributions across ecology & evolution are encouraged! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/1…

Our paper on adaptive introgression of herbicide resistance in Argentinian weedy rice is out in Molecular Ecology 🌾🇦🇷 Take a look if you are interested in #Admixture and #RapidEvolution in plants GIRCS Lab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

We (sort of) made the cover :). Check out the current issue of Molecular Ecology, focusing on potential and constraints to rapid adaptation! Congratulations to all the authors!!

We (Consortium for Plant Invasion Genomics) are searching for a postdoc to work on synthesizing population genomics data from contemporary and herbarium sampling from 5 invasive species. 48-55k. Hybrid or in Lafayette, LA. DM me if interested! Link to ad: louisiana.csod.com/ux/ats/careers…

Our preprint is up! Using a pop genomic dataset spanning 6 continents and 4 common gardens in the native & invasive range of white clover, we find extensive evidence of adaptation to climate following introduction of white clover across the world. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/5

Gregor Mendel, the pioneer of modern genetics, was born #OnThisDay in 1822. His experiments with pea plants established the genetic inheritance of certain traits, and he coined the terms 'recessive' and 'dominant' to describe them. bit.ly/3Ol3psu

Friends, the #RaiseTheStipend petition closes tonight ▶️ aph.gov.au/e-petitions/pe… Please, if you are yet to sign, consider doing it now. Most importantly, even if you’ve signed, send it to family & friends now – ask them to help. Thanks to everyone who has supported this!

In case you are interested in repeated evolution of invasive species here is my talk at the last Evolution conference in Montreal #Evol2024 #Evolution2024 youtube.com/watch?v=UzHNhc…

Join my group to explore how genetic networks fuel rapid adaptation during parallel evolution. Fully funded PhD scholarship at UQ. Open to domestic and international onshore applicants. Apply by 7 October. 🌱🔬 tinyurl.com/phdatuq

If you study how biological invasions interact with other aspects of global change, consider submitting to this Global Change Biology Special Issue! Many great submissions so far, deadline is fast approaching! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/1…

Came across the first paper in Biological Invasions journal, an editorial by founding EIC James T. Carlton: "Our hope is to seek the threads that bind for an evolutionary and ecological understanding of invasions (...)"
