Our new paper is out in Ornithology: "Effects of age, breeding strategy, population density, and number of neighbors on territory size and shape in Passerculus sandwichensis (Savannah Sparrow)" doi.org/10.1093/ornith… We found 5 patterns of variation in bird territories... 🧵1/7

The second PhD chapter of the amazing Martta Liukkonen now published! How does gut #microbiome vary at large #spatial scale? #Habitat, #seasonal effects and (small) #temperature associations detected, but no clear population differences #avian #physiology besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

We lack study of natural selection acting on gut microbiome variation. Stothart et al. provide evidence that gut microbiome variation is associated with survival in a population of feral horses.

Hello hivemind! Does anyone have a lead on a postdoc for a budding population geneticist such as myself? Open to relocating kind of wherever and/or doing remote work, but stuck in Saskatoon area until next July. Conservation is my main interest. #Biology #Genomics #postdoc

Are you going to #ISME19? Will you present a poster? Do you use #anvio for your research? If yes, please consider filling out this form so we can bring stickers to your poster, say hi, and ask your advice on how to make anvi'o better. forms.gle/idoXJbN5bpUPjC… Thank you! 😇
