Ever wondered whether adapting to icy, oxygen-rich #Antarctic waters influenced #hemoglobin gene #evolution in #notothenioid fishes?
And how white-blooded #icefish lost their hemoglobin genes?
Our new MS is for you!
A quick 🧵on our finding in Molecular Biology and Evolution!

Reminder to apply before the 18th of October to have the possibility to attend the Workshops on Genomics (evomics.org/2024-workshop-…) and Phylogenomics (evomics.org/apply-workshop…)! Tell your colleagues and anyone who might be interested! #evomics #genomics #phylogenomics

Two new papers of my group to explain the explosive cichlid radiation in Lake Victoria. Ngoepe et al show the importance of ancestral ecological versatility. Meier et al show the importance of genetic variation acquired through genetic exchange. eawag.ch/en/info/portal…

🐟 Excited to share our latest paper on the adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake Victoria, now out in Nature (nature.com/articles/s4158…)! A continuous fish fossil record from sediment cores shows a dramatic change in the fish community around 13ka. 🧵

New paper out: Teleost genomic repeat landscapes in light of diversification rates and ecology dlvr.it/Swwkx2 Great work by William Reinar, Ole K. Tørresen, Michael Matschiner, Lex Nederbragt, Sissel Jentoft

Happy to share our new study in @sciencemagazine tracking nearly 4,000 Galápagos finches using genomics over 30 years! These tanagers have taught us a lot about the genomics of speciation. How is this reflected in contemporary evolution?

I am thrilled that our Science paper on the evolution of Lake Victoria cichlids is now out!

Dear Louis, there are no words that can express the sadness of your passing, but know that you left a tremendous legacy. (1/4)

Re-upping this, as we start to review applications in 10 days!

The Bulletin of the SSB is looking for editors and reviewers. Find our more information at ssbbulletin.org/index.php/bssb and email our managing editor to volunteer.

John Maynard Smith wrote a paper on sympatric speciation purely to annoy Ernst Mayr.

Coming soon from Near and Thacker @thackfish, 'Phylogenetic classification of living and fossil ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii)'...a slight teaser of 4 of 21 tree figures. #NearLab

In the eye of the beholder: See our latest work by Virginie Ricci et al. in Science Advances on visual opsin gene expression dynamics in the massive adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake Tanganyika, with a great cover by Angel Fitor.
