Delighted to see these two papers come out. They build on my earlier PhD work where we (1) showed that #hybrid songbirds take intermediate routes to pure forms on #migration and (2) mapped migratory orientation to a region on chromosome 4. (1/3)🐦🧬

Our new paper using genomic ancestry/heterozygosity and individual tracking data to show reduced survival on migration for some hybrid classes of Swainson’s thrushes is out now in @Ecology_Letters: https://t.co/Q3y8JL1MJV @kedelmore @HannahJusten

Nice feature on our #ScienceEducation work, inspired by #MotusWTS and #evolution; in collaboration with great NGOs (Finca Cántaros in CR and GAAP in Chile); and emphasizing the need for cross-cultural/continent work when conserving #birds! @TAMU_Biology https://t.co/y5F6Wnb4HQ

The genetic basis of many natural behaviours and their contribution to speciation is unclear. Louder et al. identify genes linked to songbird migration, investigating their regulation & potential to create barriers between species

A long road but our #transcriptomic study on #migration and #speciation is finally out. Brain-region specific patterns, trans-regulatory changes underlying species-specific behaviors, and behavior-dependent misexpression in #hybrids...check it out! https://t.co/rszXsCbLJS

Spent the last couple days at our first @TAMU_Biology Eco-Evo retreat. Thanks everyone for making this a great experience! @SciStrader @Rachel_L_Moran @mahulchak @clynfitzpatrick

[Kira Delmore @kedelmore]

We have a few fully funded positions in the lab. Including a PhD position on #Migration, #Genomics, and #Conservation. Check our our website https://t.co/TENLdfjvdb! #jobopening #PhDposition

New undergrad-led contribution from the lab. Migratory songbirds learn faster during the winter (?!) and male hybrids may be the slowest learners in that season...could carry over effects influence reproductive isolation? #Speciation #Migration #Cognition https://t.co/Dew4pnsNTc

Jobs available! Please pass on to interested candidates and RT. We will start reviewing applications soon (in the next 1-2 weeks):

Happy to see this special issue on Birds in @CurrentBiology. We contributed a primer on #bird_migration #genetics and are joined by an amazing set of authors highlighting the rich set of questions we can address with birds! @HannahJusten @TAMU_Biology. https://t.co/FEssShUIZu

[Kira Delmore @kedelmore]

Interested in #speciation? #hybridization? #behavior? #birds? The Delmore lab is looking for #PhD students! We use tools from a variety of fields (#genomics #ornithology #neuroscience) and are part of a vibrant community at #TAMU_Biology. Get in touch - https://t.co/aTTibYOJnd!

@TAMU_Biology @kedelmore @JennySRudolf @AerisClarkson @martr3vi @LunaArtist1 Such an awesome job you guys! Can't wait to see what the data says!

[TAMU Biology @TAMU_Biology]

The @kedelmore lab has 4 undergrads researching hummingbird courtship dives at Sam Houston's Field Station this summer! Jen Rudolf (@jennysrudolf), Aeris Clarkson (@aerisclarkson), Marlene Trevino (@martr3vi), & Sophia Terez (@LunaArtist1) are some amazing #UndergradResearchers!

[Kira Delmore @kedelmore]

Great weekend with @HannahJusten sampling hummingbirds! Glad we can count on local landowners like LeAnn #HillCountryNatureCenter to support our work. @TAMU_Biology @TAMUEEB @TAMUGENE #fieldwork #speciation #hybrids https://t.co/cLZtkocuyP

[Evelien de Greef @evelien_degreef]

Super excited to see one of my master's chapters published at the Journal of Avian Biology! In this paper we studied purple martin population genomics and natal dispersal in North America.🐦🧬
