Abstract DL 15th February tinyurl.com/EEDHelsinki

Glad to announce that the last update of OrthoMaM (v12) is now available and published in NAR!
It now includes 15,868 high quality alignments of orthologous coding sequences (CDS) for up to 190 mammals!
Check out the article for more information:
doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

The #rstat #dispRity pkg v1.8 is now out live! Many new updates including PGLS and disparity with multiple matrices and trees! You can find all the details on the CRAN cran.r-project.org/web/packages/d…; GitHub github.com/TGuillerme/dis… or the basic paper in MEE besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Despite the importance of nonhuman primates, reference genomes have been sequenced in <10% of species.

A Science study presents high-quality reference genomes for 27 primate species, adding to available resources. scim.ag/5l7 #PrimateGenomes

A few highlights from our recent paper Molecular Biology and Evolution, led by the brilliant Axel Jensen: Guenons are crazy! They hybridise despite >5 millions of years of divergence and ignore differences in chromosome numbers and karyotypes (not to mention morphology, ecology, behaviour...)

Climate change is causing small mammals to get even smaller, according to an analysis of 23 species collected by natural history museums over the past century. Total shrinkage by 2100 may be as high as 21%, depending on future warming. In PNAS: ow.ly/fcij50QgRGp

Check out our latest work on primate genomics! Including a 239-species primate whole-genome alignment to study constraint in human gene-regulatory elements. Out now in nature nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵

Wow

📢Job alert, Please spread the word

I may be able to hire a #postdoc for 1 year. If you are interested in exploring the phylogeography of Sulawesi Tarsiers, write to [email protected]. Experience with #Genomics or #Primatology is a plus.

If you presented your research at #IMC13 and used mammal collections in any way, this is an amazing time to send museum staff your publications so we can link your research to specimens forever and maybe even close out your loans <3

Some shrews are at the lowest limit for how small a mammal can be.

Our new paper is out in Molecular Ecology! 'Notes from the taxonomic disaster zone: Evolutionary drivers of intractable species boundaries in an Australian lizard clade (Scincidae: Ctenotus)'. Fun collaboration with tweep Dan Rabosky. Find PDF copy at ivanprates.org/publications.
