Flight cancelled so making the most of an extra day in Western Australia post #AusEvol2024 🦞

Had a great experience presenting some of my PhD work at #AusEvol2024 in beautiful Perth last week!

Gene Flow Between Populations With Highly Divergent Mitogenomes in the Australian Stingless Bee, Tetragonula hockingsi We investigate genetic divergence and gene flow between populations of a stingless bee (Tetragonula hockingsi) that have highly divergent mitogenomes. We identify at least two zones of gene flow betw...

Check out my recently published paper in Ecology and Evolution about mito-nuclear incompatibilities between populations of the stingless bee Tetragonula hockingsi (part of my Honours project, and it's open access!): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A HUGE congratulations to Jennifer Evans for taking out the award for best student talk at #AusEvol2024.

Thank you to the wonderful Arludo for sponsoring the award.

Congratulations to Sarin “Putter” Tiatragul (@puttert.bsky.social) for being awarded the best postdoc presentation at #AusEvol2024! And a big congratulations to runners up Joe Meng-Han Joseph Chung and Upama Aich (@upama.bsky.social)

Had a great time presenting some of my early PhD results at #AusEvol2024! (As well as visiting the quokkas and penguins)

Had lots of fun presenting some of my PhD work at #AusEvol2024. So many great talks in an amazing location.

A big thank you from the #BobWongLab to the organisers of #AusEvol2024 @austevolsoc.bsky.social for a fantastic conference.

That’s a wrap! From the AES executive committee, we’d like to sincerely thank all attendees of #AusEvol2024 for a wonderful 3 days in Perth

What a plenary! A wonderful talk by Natalie Warburton on how to build a kangaroo to close #AusEvol2024 🦘

Did my #AusEvol2024 talk! Now looking forward to relaxing and enjoying the rest of the talks 😎

It was a fun challenge to condense my multiscale landscape genomic research into a 3min flash talk for #AusEvol2024 ! 💪Thank you to the organisers for the opportunity to plug the new paper: doi.org/10.1111/eva.13737 🌱⛰️🧬

it’s not really a trip to the University of Western Australia without a visit to China Tang for a meal. #AusEvol2024 @upama.bsky.social

A fantastic plenary by Dr Maddie James on the genetic architecture of parallel evolution to kick off day 2 of #AusEvol2024 🧬🌱

#AusEvol2024 has set a very high bar for @austevolsoc.bsky.social by organising a peacock to display non stop in front of the concurrent sessions on Day 1 of the conference. Very impressive.

A perfect way to end day one of #AusEvol2024 ☀️🍻

Enjoying exploring WA before #AusEvol2024 this week.

Saying hello to some of the Perth locals before #AusEvol2024

A fantastic start to #AusEvol2024 with a plenary from Dr Sara Ryding on the long- and short-term responses to climate change in body and appendage size of diverse Australian birds

There are less than 12 hours till #AusEvol2024! The registration desk will be open from 8.15am on Wednesday morning so be sure to swing by to pick up your name card before it all kicks off. We can’t wait to see you all there!

Excited to meet folks at the @austevolsoc.bsky.social conference tomorrow! I’ve already been having a great time hanging out with some of the locals. #wildoz #rottnest

Can’t wait for @austevolsoc.bsky.social conference in beautiful Western Australia next week. Looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues out west.
