Hey #Xenopus enthusiasts, my lab at Pitt is looking to recruit a Ph.D. student through our Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Program to continue our work on how allotetraploidy has shaped gene expression during early development! Please spread the word! @FrogWranglers

Is evolution predictable or highly contingent? This new Royal Society Publishing paper explains why life here & elsewhere might be universal regarding its logic, from molecular information & cells to viruses &ecosystems. Santa Fe Institute @philipcball Sean Carroll royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…


The Atlantic herring has four megabase-sized inversions associated with ecological adaptation. Jamsandekar et al. present their evolutionary history, showing genetic exchange between alleles & effective purifying selection. @MafaldaSFe Minal Jamsandekar nature.com/articles/s4146…

I am very excited to share the first preprint from my postdoc with Kim Cooper ! Read along to learn about tails and vertebral proportion 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


📢 Check our new piece! We conceptualize stem-cell-based embryo models as developmental monstrosities, which can uncover ‘hidden’ rules & developmental constraints that robustly shape & pattern the embryo.

📢 New Opportunity Alert❗ CANSSI Ontario Postdoctoral Fellowship in Genome Data Science. This fellowship supports the work of an early-career investigator working in genomics and data science. Support: up to $50K/year for 2 years Apply by: Feb 3, 2025 bit.ly/4dLrsv4


Respiratory anatomy of whales may offer unprecedented insights into basic mechanisms of evolution! Learn more in a comprehensive new review of whale respiratory anatomy by Whale Scientist & Jeffrey T Laitman : doi.org/10.1002/ar.255… Joy S. Reidenberg




New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻♂️ The Welch Lab Royal Society Publishing royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Out in early view: The ecomorphological radiation of phyllostomid #bats. With Alexa Sadier and Marco Mello, we explore the extrinsic and intrinsic factors associated with the most fabulous adaptive radiation within mammals. shorturl.at/POjvZ


Super excited to give a talk today Eco and Evo Biology on the evolution of mammalian tooth classes and novelties using bats as a model system 🦇🦷European Research Council (ERC) Thanks Molly C. Womack for the invitation!
