Incredibly excited to announce that I have been awarded an European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant for my project EvolSWARM. In the coming 5 years, we will investigate the evolutionary significance of reproductive microbiomes in wild animals. #ERCCoG

I am very proud! The Phenotypic Evolution Time Series (PETS) database is now online!

pets.nhm.uio.no

PETS is a public database containing data on phenotypic change within (fossil and contemporary) lineages.

Why did we make it? A short 🧵

'Understanding natural selection and similarity: Convergent, parallel and repeated evolution'

🧵 I was frustrated by the different definitions regarding parallel/convergent evolution. Every colleague I asked had a ≠ definition.

About a year ago we sampled the first 'Italian' sparrow recorded in the Netherlands. But it turns out, it was no Italian sparrow but a house sparrow with an emergent Italian phenotype. dutchbirding.nl/dbactueel/1872…

We studied population histories with demographic modeling and found introgression between highly divergent fungal sister species ( #Trichaptum ), involving a ghost population

A truly dark day for all here in Nottingham, at the university and beyond. I can only imagine the pain that the families are going through today.

Very excited to share that I received funding to study speciation and beak shape evolution in Crossbills! Today I am selecting samples for genome sequencing at Naturhist.riksmuseet

Are you using RADseq to infer phylogenies, or planning to? Then you might want to check our new preprint on how assembly parameters influence downstream inferences. (1/2)

First day back after a week off and this is heading straight to the top of the to-read pile. Some great work from some great people!
