Excited to share our new publication on the evolution and ecology of the Waccamaw Darter, Etheostoma perlongum! With co-authors Thomas Near, @fish_genomes, Rich Harrington, Dylan Wainwright, and Nate Backenstose. Ecological speciation of E. perlongum is associated with a large chromosomal inversion, which appears to have convergently evolved in Atlantic Cod and Rainbow Trout. #fish #genomics #speciation #inversion #evolution #ecology #phylogenetics https://doi.org/10.1093/evolut/qpad067

Spent some time getting back to my Anolis roots with Levi Gray, Jose Manuel Toledo Morales, and Cande Cundapi Pérez. 6 Mexican states in a week!

Very cool symposium at #SSB2023 on systematics in #México and the importance of language/cultural #inclusivity in #science!

Check out our new preprint where we explore the #genomics, #morphology, and #ecology of an unusual case of lacustrine #speciation in darters. Despite lake-river gene flow, genetic divergence is concentrated in a large chromosomal #inversion containing a suite of retinal and olfaction genes. With coauthors @fish_genomes, Tom Near, Dylan Wainwright, Rich Harrington, and Nate Backenstose. https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.12.12.519811 @biorxivpreprint

Just stumbled across this cool javascript library for creating programmatic "hand-drawn" plots! Guess I need to add JS to my list of languages to learn... https://github.com/jwilber/roughViz

Here we go! @fish_genomes lab
