A Beginner's Guide to Structural Variants in Eco‐Evolutionary Population Genomics Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has greatly expanded researchers' ability to study structural variants (SVs), that is, the variation in the presence, number, orientation or position of a DNA sequence.…

New paper!

Social media for fisheries science and management professionals: How to use Bluesky and Instagram, and why you should.

This is the *first* paper in the peer reviewed scientific literature to explain how Bluesky works and how to use it for #SciComm 🧪🦑🐠

On this #TransDayOfVisibility I've been reflecting on how much more fear I have being visibly and loudly trans+ lately (and how afraid my trans siblings and peers are lately)--we now have a local bathroom ban, forced misgendering of students and teachers, etc.

But we're still here, still wonderful

A flatfish lays on sand with a decidedly grumpy look on his face, much like me when my nap gets interrupted. It's tan, with white and orange spots, helping it to blend into its sand bed

I like to think if I was turned into a fish, I'd be a sarcastic fringehead, but in reality I'd probably be this guy. So for #FishOfTheWeek let's talk about flatfishes. They are much cooler than you think

Thank you @animalecology.bsky.social editors for this incredible recognition! This paper originated from my 1st PhD chapter conceived >10 yrs ago. I hope this encourages someone to dust off that draft laying around! 🙏Jeff Hutchings for encouraging me to publish.

Congrats to all shortlisted authors!

Yes please 😊 thanks!

Hi 🦋!

I'm a marine ecologist and evolutionary biologist fortunate to lead a transatlantic research lab in 🇨🇦🇸🇪🇳🇴 focused on how fishes respond to their environments. We love combining experiments and fieldwork with genomics, tracking, bioacoustics, and deep learning to forecast population responses!

So excited for you 🤗
