So excited to have our paper “Spread of yellow-bill-color alleles favored by selection in the long-tailed finch hybrid system” out now in @CurrentBiology ! Check it out: https://t.co/jcYghCyH9a

A new paper with big news in the world of red carotenoid ornamentation: House Finches do not utilize CYP2J19/BDH1L to produce red feather pigments. Why is this big new?...(1/6)

@evornithology They look pretty stunning on there huh? I love the editorial choice to match the font color to their beaks. Nicely done.

My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. https://t.co/4UHcFFODlG

@TropBioLab @CurrentBiology Thanks so much, Al and Floria!

@kelsie_lopez @CurrentBiology Thank you, Kelsie!

@SimonGriffith4 @Geoffrey_E_Hill @pandolfatto @PowersPods @NickJustyn But - let’s really hear it for the birds:

[Daniel Marc Hooper @DanielM_Hooper]

@SimonGriffith4 @Geoffrey_E_Hill @pandolfatto @PowersPods @NickJustyn And it would never have taken flight - or been such a fun journey - without the various field teams contributed over the past decade of work finching across northern Australia.

@sywsin @CurrentBiology Thanks, Simon! Congrats on your incredible new psittacofulvin paper in Science. It’s really amazing work and inspiring stuff.

[Daniel Marc Hooper @DanielM_Hooper]

@KevinFPBennett @CurrentBiology Thanks Kevin! We needed to cut about 50% of the text length of the preprint for this published version so it likely reads different but hopefully much more succinctly. Would love to hear your thoughts!

[Daniel Marc Hooper @DanielM_Hooper]

@evornithology @CurrentBiology @MariaCastanoGal Thanks Dan! As always with this stuff, we stand on the shoulders of (you and) red-backed fairy-wrens.

[Daniel Marc Hooper @DanielM_Hooper]

@evornithology @CurrentBiology @MariaCastanoGal Yeah we did when I visited Rochester last year! It’s a very cool system and I heard rumors that @MariaCastanoGal has some super exciting experimental results from the field coming out soon. Keen to see them especially wrt yellow -> red.

[Daniel Marc Hooper @DanielM_Hooper]

@evornithology Wow! Awesome work. What a great hard earned result!

1/ A thread about mutation and recombination in vertebrates and what we learned by studying three-generation pedigrees of zebra finches. Take home: the remarkable similarities between birds and mammals in many properties of these fundamental processes.

[Daniel Marc Hooper @DanielM_Hooper]

@ErikEnbody Woohoo! Congratulations!

[Kieran Samuk @ksamuk]

Pleased to announce that my lab at UC Riverside has been awarded an NIH/NIGMS MIRA. This grant will fund our research on the evolution and genetics of recombination rate variation. We are also now recruiting at multiple levels, starting with postdocs (see QT below!).
