Excited to share that my 2021 honours research is finally out in coral reefs: 10.1007/s00338-024-02496-7. My first time leading a publication with support of the wonderful @iva_pops @suthicke @CRiginos. Echinoderms are cool and eDNA can be a useful monitoring tool for plankton!

Our paper is out in @PLOSGenetics! We show that outbreaking crown-of-thorns sea stars have unexpectedly high mutation rates, similar to mammals and other low Ne species. A true interdisciplinary effort with @CRiginos @LucieABergeron1 @suthicke @gwoerhe t.ly/hoAGm

Wrapping up this years CoTS (Acanthaster) spawning @SeaSim_AIMS @aims_gov_au with @klesita and team with some icing on the cake: As a world first we spawned CoTS we produced in the lab 3 years ago and thus closed the lifecycle and produced F2 larvae. Will we get them to settle?

Our preprint is out! We report the first germline mutation rate estimate for a marine invertebrate using parent-offspring trios of crown-of-thorns sea stars to examine the determinants of genetic diversity in a species with extreme outbreaking tendencies biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

If we “replayed the tape of life”, would evolution repeat itself? In many instances, it does! Find out more in our review paper on Replicated Evolution in Plants 🌳🌵🌴 A thread 🧵 annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10…
Replicated Evolution in Plants

Replicated Evolution in Plants

Similar traits and functions commonly evolve in nature. Here, we explore patterns of replicated evolution across the plant kingdom and discuss the processes responsible for such patterns. We begin...
