A marine invertebrate hiatus + a steep learning curve + great mentorship in ML for evolutionary inference = Our new Molecular Biology and Evolution paper showing that adaptation often proceeds via soft selective sweeps in the yellow fever mosquito! academic.oup.com/mbe/advance…

Soft Selective Sweeps Predominate in the Yellow Fever Mosquito Aedes aegypti

Abstract. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is a vector for human arboviruses and zoonotic diseases and therefore poses a serious threat to public health. Underst

New paper entitled, “Divergence between sea urchins and their microbiota following speciation” is out in @Mar_Biology! link.springer.com/article/10…

Divergence between sea urchins and their microbiota following speciation

Marine Biology - Animals have a deep evolutionary relationship with microbial symbionts, such that individual microbes or an entire microbial community can diverge alongside the host. Here, we...

New in @ScienceMagazine! What's the role of behavior in evolution? Is curiosity linked to diversification? And how is curiosity encoded in the DNA? These questions motivated our study: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… #ScienceResearch
