Our #macrogenetic assessment of pop genetic diversity across🌎is out! -Spatial hot + coldspots largely unrelated to latitude -Discordance btw gen diversity + species richness -Only some links with envtal factors; taxonomic diffs -Nature is complicated! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Check out our latest paper using a feeding experiment to compare metabarcoding, qPCR, and visual ID for diet analysis of chinook eaten by invasive predators in the Sacramento River. Huge congrats to lead author Cory Dick and the rest of the team @SASethi_ shorturl.at/jnGUY

Had a chance for a closer read on this one in eLife - the journal - what a great investigation, and fascinating story! Pan et al. 2021. The rise and fall of the ancient northern pike master sex-determining gene. #SexDetermination #bottleneck elifesciences.org/articles/62858

Super excited about our latest on the genomic basis of sockeye ecotypes. We use WGS to show that most but not all islands of divergence are likely underlied by small < 500 kb inversions. Great working with Peter Euclide Yue Shi, PhD and the rest of the team! shorturl.at/dpqL6

Great PhD position with my friend and colleague Matt Hale at TCU. Come study the genomics of Pacific salmon! Starting fall 24. jobs.rwfm.tamu.edu/view-job/?id=8…

Check out our latest paper (and associated media release) on the genetic impacts of hatchery rearing in Chinook salmon from Southeast Alaska. We document the clearest genetic evidence of domestication selection to date. shorturl.at/i1567 shorturl.at/dmovL

Great to see this one out. Estimating reproductive success of walleye in a northern Wisconsin lake. Bigger isn't necessarily better. Most of the reproductive output comes from medium sized fish. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ev…

Check out our latest measuring eDNA transport from hatchery pens of chum salmon in SE Alaska. Take homes: eDNA can be detected > 1 km from a point source if source is large, but detections highly influenced by variables such as tide shorturl.at/cBLX3 shorturl.at/korvI
