Spending my day thinking about turnip-tailed geckos

Our newest paper about selection on gene expression plasticity during thermal adaptation of city anoles to urban heat islands is out in Nature Communications! Special thanks to co-authors Jonathan Velotta and Kristin Winchell, who are always incredible to work with. nature.com/articles/s4146…

I love it when tiny geckos lick their eyeballs 😍

Going to post photos of Lesser Antillean anoles because why not... and because they're the best (A. oculatus)

Are you looking for a lab for the NSF PRFB ? I welcome postdocs join us under 1- Broadening Participation of Groups Underrepresented in Biology or 2 Interactions Between Genomes, Environment and Phenotypes. We are interested in adaptive radiations, landscape genomics..... (1/2)

Our paper led by Katie Thomas 🦑 & Rayna Bell investigating evolution of the diverse pupil shapes of amphibians is out in Biological Journal of the Linnean Society. We found pupil shape to be evolutionarily labile & that circular pupils are linked to fossorial and aquatic lifestyles🐸academic.oup.com/biolinnean/adv…

The UC Davis Center for Population Biology postdoctoral fellowship is now being advertised. This is a great opportunity to come join our wonderful community of Evolution & Ecology here at Davis. Please RT cpb.sf.ucdavis.edu/cpb-postdoc-fe…

You can also chat to Pavitra Muralidhar & Michael Yuan, our CPB postdocs from the past two years about the position.
