Dr. K. Lotterhos

Jim O'Neill, former hedge fund and venture capital firm manager, is expected to be nominated as the next Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF). Would be the first NSF Director without a background as a scientist or engineer or formal research credentials.

This recently-accepted study highlights the critical need to incorporate genomic erosion—the loss of genetic diversity, accumulation of harmful mutations, maladaptation, and introgression—into conservation assessments.

Table coral

Three-way hybridization of table corals in the Acropora hyacinthus group from the southern Great Barrier Reef results in parallel adaptive introgression. Check out our new preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202...
