I'm recruiting students / postdocs to join my new lab at the University of Rochester for Fall 2025 onwards! If you're interested in phylogenetic comparative methods, genome evolution, and/or computational biology, please get in touch! More info: mhibbins.github.io

Does intra-locus conflict between the life cycles lead to genome-wide signatures of selection? Find out in this study led by Meng Yuan 袁梦 !!

Vince literally wrote the book on bioinformatics, and he'd offer a ton of value to any group in biotech lucky enough to hire him

Introducing Aciurina luminaria Baine, sp. nov. also known as The Candle Flame Gall Tephritid! Using multi-trait integrative taxonomy Quin Baine and the Martinson lab have described a new gall-inducing insect in ZooKeys #gall Details below...

Here's Kelly's reaction to winning the Royal Society Trivedi #SciBooks Prize 2024:

I still can't wrap my head around this!!! I'm SO excited!!

Thrilled to share my recent perspective piece with diogro and David Desmarais on the empirical measurement of developmental bias in a GP map and its conceptual links with other quant gen variational properties.

The 2025 Speciation Gordon Research Conference (March 2-7 2025) is open for registration! We have a great line up of speakers that should be of interest to many, including people that don't think they work on speciation per se. Please retweet! grc.org/speciation-con…

our new genome paper on the (weird) tuliptree scale is now out in g3! i've never worked on an insect with an alternative sex determ. system before my time in the Mongue lab, but needless 2 say... i will always be impressed and horrified of what bugs can do academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

Great presentations by Egan lab PhD students Amanda Potts and Maryam Faghihi and all of our #RiceEEB graduate students at our annual Science Day presentations!

Hey #Science folks! Need a recommendation- A couple years ago, my lab discovered parasitic vines attacking insect galls on their shared host. I am looking for more about the parasitic plant - the love vine, Cassytha filiformis? Do you or anyone you know study this plant?

New paper by former #RiceEEB PhD student, Pedro Brandão-Dias F Pinto! Great #eDNA colllaboration between Rice University & University of Notre Dame! "Comparing the Fate of eDNA by Particle Sizes and Molecule Lengths in Recirculating Streams" - @WileyEcolEvol onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed…

#A_day_in_the_life of a live oak (day 411): Belonocnema gall wasp eggs incubating inside the leaves of their host plant, the southern live oak (Quercus virginiana)! The oak exhibits a visual response in <10 minutes. #biodiversity

Interested in other approaches to measuring selection on gene expression? The incomparable John Kelly and I have written a perspective piece describing why one might want to measure selection on gene expression, and exploring a few ways one might use to do it.

New bug dropped. We named it after H-town!
