New publication out 🆕 📤
"No evidence of transposable element bursts in the Galápagos Scalesia adaptive radiation despite hybridization, diversification and ecological niche shifts"
https://mobilednajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13100-025-00362-z
🔍 Despite rapid speciation, niche shifts, & hybridization, we found no significant TE accumulation differences across species or hybrids.
🌵 Even in arid-adapted lineages—where genome downsizing may be expected—TEs didn’t decline.

#Fish curiosity promotes #biodiversity: How exploratory behavior aids in ecological adaptation
https://phys.org/news/2024-04-cichlid-fishes-curiosity-biodiversity-exploratory.htmlThe #genetics of niche-specific behavioral tendencies in an #AdaptiveRadiation of #cichlid fishes https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adj9228
"#Cichlids exhibit differing degrees of curiosity. The cause for this lies in their genes. This trait influences their ability to adapt to new habitats... curious individuals can inhabit different areas compared to more cautious conspecifics."

Hey There! #introduction. My lab group uses genetics/genomics approaches to understand eco-evolutionary processes acting on natural populations within their environmental context. #speciation, #adaptation, #Evolution, #GlobalChangeBio, #InvasiveSpecies, #PopulationGenetics, #FollowForPopGenBack, #demography, #AdaptiveRadiation, #FunctionalGenomics, #epigenetics, #phenomics, #Anolis, #herpetology, #biodiversity, #museumomics, #microbiomes, #biogeography
