Interesting preprint dating whole genome duplications in vertebrate evolution relative to hagfishes, which I had missed this Spring:
• 1 genome duplication before, 1 after hagfish divergence, +2 at the basis on cyclostomes
• nice investigation of relation between genome duplication and morphological diversification (not much).

Good morning! Coming from Twitter it seems a bit weird to post something so loaded with hashtags but I am looking to find people in my academic discipline on this site.

I am a #Canadian #undergraduate #student at the #UniversityofAlberta, studying #paleontology, #wildlifebiology and #zoology. My areas of interest include #vertebratepaleontology, #vertebrateevolution, and #devonian #fish!
