Check out our new paper! We looked at migration timing and genomics in purple martins across North America. Thank you to collaborators Matt Thorstensen, Kevin Fraser, Kira Delmore, Alexander Suh 서상재! doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Proud of this crew. Every member of the Delmore lab snagged an award at today's "Life on a Dynamic Planet" Symposium! #birds #speciation #hybrids Hannah Justen Aeris Clarkson Mar Jennifer Rudolf Stephanie Blain TAMU Biology

Jobs available! Please pass on to interested candidates and RT. We will start reviewing applications soon (in the next 1-2 weeks):

New undergrad-led contribution from the lab. Migratory songbirds learn faster during the winter (?!) and male hybrids may be the slowest learners in that season...could carry over effects influence reproductive isolation? #Speciation #Migration #Cognition nature.com/articles/s4159…

Spent the last couple days at our first TAMU Biology Eco-Evo retreat. Thanks everyone for making this a great experience! Dr. Marie Strader Rachel Moran Mahul Chakraborty Courtney Fitzpatrick

We have a few fully funded positions in the lab. Including a PhD position on #Migration, #Genomics, and #Conservation. Check our our website delmorelab.com/recruitment! #jobopening #PhDposition

Thanks for the write-up! Can’t wait to dive into more work on #speciation and #behavioral #genomics using #hybrids and #birds🐦. Several positions (#phd and #postdoc) available in the lab😉(delmorelab.com/recruitment; #jobopening #hiring #bioinformatics).

A long road but our #transcriptomic study on #migration and #speciation is finally out. Brain-region specific patterns, trans-regulatory changes underlying species-specific behaviors, and behavior-dependent misexpression in #hybrids...check it out! rdcu.be/duX3O

We have a new paper out on the ecological basis of hybrid incompatibilities! We argue, via literature review, two meta-analyses, and simulations that epistatic incompatibilities might underlie much of what is known as 'extrinsic' post-zygotic isolation cshperspectives.cshlp.org/content/early/… 1/n

The genetic basis of many natural behaviours and their contribution to speciation is unclear. Louder et al. identify genes linked to songbird migration, investigating their regulation & potential to create barriers between species Kira Delmore TAMU Biology nature.com/articles/s4146…

Nice feature on our #ScienceEducation work, inspired by #MotusWTS and #evolution; in collaboration with great NGOs (Finca Cántaros in CR and GAAP in Chile); and emphasizing the need for cross-cultural/continent work when conserving #birds! TAMU Biology tx.ag/DelmoreBirdEdu…

#Evol2024! If you're interested in #speciation, #hybridization, #transposable_elements, #repeatability, or #epigenetics check out the flock of presentations from the delmorelab.com tomo! We're also moving to Columbia Uni in Jan and recruiting at all levels. Get in touch!
