Our new paper Demographic history, linked selection, and recombination shape the genomic landscape of a broadly distributed Pacific salmon led by @QuentinREvo Quentin Rougemont biorxiv.org/content/biorxi… Great job team ! @Popgen_Papers @FishConGen American Fisheries Society @FishJournals

My research is featured in this Science Magazine article! I’m very excited and honored to have my work accessible to a broader audience. #mutation #mimulus #clonality #evolution

I hadn't seen this before -- it's good! #GradStudentMentalHealth

Can genomics shed light on the origin of species? Thoughts from @mel_rosina, featuring our recent paper on the genomic landscape of a monkeyflower radiation journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

I am extremely excited about this work on the way natural selection succeeds and crucially fails to weed out deleterious mutations in cancer due to the constraints posed by linkage and Hill-Robertson interference. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

New work by me and a huge Rieseberg lab team showing massive non-recombining haplotypes (i.e. structural variants) in sunflowers and their effect on ecotypic adaptation. Kaichi Huang Kari Ostevik, Marcianuz 🌻🐇🦜 Rasmus Nielsen, Sam Yeaman +other non-tweeters biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/10

What’s in a name? Read newest discussion on how should we call #monkeyflowers. Led by @DavidBLowry and coauthored by many. There is a response too. DM me if you want the PDF. The case for the continued use of the genus name Mimulus for all monkeyflowers onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

New preprint where I simulate background selection matching actual genomic regions' recombination maps and locations of genes/conserved elements, and ask how often the resulting patterns of diversity resemble hitchhiking events (see title for answer): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you ever see a plant doing something cool, you should probably assume #Mimulus does that too

So excited to be a part of this project! Stay tuned for ads to join our group...

I am looking to hire a research asst to work on ecology, evolution, and genomics of speciation and adaptation in plants (mostly Mimulus). Lab and greenhouse work. DM me with inquiries or questions. Job ad here: careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/5287…

Our latest! Integrating top-down and bottom-up approaches to understand the connection between candidate loci and traits associated with RI. Bottom line: it’s complicated!

This was fun - thinking about evolution in an applied setting. The evolution of herbicide resistance in agricultural weeds. Hope to do more of this in the future too!

Speciation genetics/genomics researchers: please complete a survey about the species/systems you study, techniques used, & your opinions on the pros & cons of those species/systems. RTs appreciated! fresnostate.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eX…

It was fun working on this paper with Matt Streisfeld ! I hope others enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it!

Matt Streisfeld and I use the repeated evolution of red flowers in Mimulus to show that introgression can be a valuable source of adaptive genetic variation, but can also lead to the evolution of reproductive isolation if introgressed variants reduce fitness.

I am very happy to share this preprint on herbicide resistance in the weed Lolium multiflorum (Italian ryegrass). Huge collaborative effort with Lucas K Bobadilla - @lkbobadilla.bsky.social Matt Streisfeld and Aidan W. Short 1/n
