The Linscott Lab at NMSU is looking for new graduate students interested in ecophysiology, systematics, and trait evolution (often in molluscs)!

Please reach out to contact me and see more at my lab website (linscottlab.com) and here: shorturl.at/DvUZa.

My first ever reagent ordered for the lab came in today! Never thought I would be so excited to see CTAB 😂

Our lab at Mississippi State is recruiting graduate students (PhD/MSc) to join us in Spring or Fall 2026! If you—or someone you know—are interested in researching evo-devo and comparative genomics of horned dung beetles, check out our site & get in touch! davidsonlab-msu.github.io

Yes

I'm hiring a postdoc to work in theoretical / computational phylogenomics! More info at tinyurl.com/63hb5ew8. Please share!

Nice whipple

Oh that’s interesting, if it’s a MYB I’d have guessed it’d be in a larger group, yeah. But since it seems highly diverged maybe it makes sense — we know it’s a MYB from conserved binding domain but high sequence divergence and uncertainty in gene trees seems like it could give orthofinder trouble

Were you expecting a larger gene family for this particular gene (suggesting some kind of artifact), or just curious about some of the output?

Please repost and amplify !

Big news! We are recruiting a postdoc to work on tomatillo evolution: jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta.... The clade containing tomatillos and its allies (ca 300 spp) has evolved lantern fruits at least 25 times - we want to know why! Join us @rociodeanna.bsky.social & @caschenck-bio.bsky.social

Looking for suggestions for outsourcing size selection on a Blue Pippin along with Illumina sequencing at a good price. I've previously used Novogene for sequencing, but they don't provide any size selection services.

Just want to shoutout a new study from the Wessinger Lab by my colleague @trinitydepatie.bsky.social. bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/.... She investigated the repeated evolution of personate flowers within Penstemon by examining patterns of introgression, topological discordance, and

Congrats Paige, and well-earned!!!

Sorry to miss you at Botany!

Just in time for #botany2025, ya girl got her PhD 🎉

Hi #Botany2025 - In my quest to never do flow cytometry again, I am collecting sequence data (radseq, target enrichment, WGS, ect.) with confirmed ploidal level. If you have samples, reach out!

Wish I could have made it to #Botany2025 this year, but still getting a partial fix from all the awesome posts on here. Please keep it up! Love seeing what folks have been working on 🌱 🌺

It's my first time at #Botany2025 and I'm so excited! I'm giving a 3 min lightning talk about my work on hybrid speciation in Penstemons on 30th July (Wednesday). Room: Mesquite C, Time: 4:40-4:45 pm, Session: Lightning Talk.

Martinez-Gomez Lab Plant Evo-Devo

A little belated but I've started a faculty position at Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology department at @ucsantabarbara.bsky.social. I'm absolutely stoked! I'll be recruiting at all levels and will be at #Botany2025

Reach out!

Always fun to see dogs that love swimming because ours are so averse you’d think it was deadly

update: new version of our preprint "Low accuracy of complex admixture graph inference from f-statistics" available!

based on very helpful reviewer suggestions, we added many more simulations to dig into what drives poor accuracy of complex network inference.

Loving the Monarda pics!! What a cool group

Nice, congrats!
