New UCE probe set designed for #beetles: #Scarabaeidae and #Hydrophiloidea! It is a pleasure to be a part of this collaboration:Grey Gustafson Rachel D. Glynn The Short Lab Nicole Gunter! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

See? Carabids can be amazing! *hides Harpalini under the rug*

I’m thrilled that our work on the evolution of Hymenoptera is now out in Nature Communications! We inferred a new phylogeny and investigated the influence of key innovations on the diversification of the order. nature.com/articles/s4146…

And we’re off! NAILS is once again in search of tiger beetles! Lunch break at the Hoover Dam and then winding our way through Death Valley before a night of fieldwork!

Fieldwork was a success! We found our study species, saw some amazing scenery, and a nice bonus - friend of the lab Evan Waite was able to join for a night!

Amazing new bee phylogenomics pub led by lab alum Felipe Freitas. Felipe explores how to deal with low-quality data in analyses and presents a comprehensive work on long-horn bee phylogenetics and systematics. The new CURE pipeline is very useful. academic.oup.com/isd/article-ab…

In response to recent court rulings ending affirmative action and to legislation aimed at limiting diversity-related discourse, the Entomological Society of America reaffirms its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in entomology. entsoc.org/news/press-rel…

📢📢📢 The new 2023-2024 list is out! Please share widely! If you are looking for a faculty position or postdoc in ecology & evolutionary biology check out this great community run resource: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Job op: Dr. Jon Koch and I at USDA are looking for a postdoc to lead a project in which we seek to develop non-lethal bee survey methods for monitoring bees in CA refuges. We'd like to get apps by the end of the month. Please spread the word and apply.

The lab and some lab friends had so much fun sharing the joy of insects at the Flagstaff Science in the Park this weekend! #scicomm

An Amblycheila schwarzi larva showing off its signature ambush feeding behavior! It’s lightning quick speed is tough to capture as both it and the flightless fruit fly disappear into its burrow.

せっかくなのでこちらも。ケシカタさん ケシカタ のおかげで見ることができたサイトムカシゲンゴロウ Phreatodytes archaeicus Uéno, 1996 地下水性ゲンゴロウには小学生の頃から憧れていたので本当嬉しかった。色々とデータも取れているので、ケシカタさんと論文準備中。お楽しみに！

Open rank (Assistant/Associate) faculty position in Insect Systematics open at LSU AgCenter LSU! Not in my dept so I don't have any special insight into the search. lsu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/LSU/job/…

We are hiring a botanist at the assist. prof rank at NAU! This person will serve as curator of the Deaver Herbarium and conduct research on plant evolution. Please encourage your early career plant systemastist colleagues to apply! Review begins Dec 11th! jobs.chronicle.com/job/37560467/a…

Our lab could use your help! If you come across any giant tiger beetles (the genus Amblycheila), please get in contact with NAILS graduate student Jamie Ramirez. Contact info and further information in the flier.

Troubleshooting bead cleanups on WGS libraries with no magnetic plate. Some broken magnets, JBweld, and a random tip rack did the trick. Anyone have 3D printer plans for DIY magnetic prep plates? Labs could buy a chunk of an NGS lane with the money saved…

I’m thrilled to announce that Kelly Speer, Ph.D. and I started as Assistant Professors NAU this week!! I’m looking for PhD and MS students to start in Fall 2025. Reach out if you’re interested in phylogenomics, phylogeography, machine learning, biogeography, or herbarium-based research
