🦉 Hybridization in owls is rare, involving ca. 8% of species. Captive hybrids span more morphologically distinct species than natural hybrids, while iris coloration may maintain premating isolation.

Dear Elon,
In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.

How does genetic architecture constrain evolutionary trajectories? To address this question, we inferred the genetic architecture of convergent plumage coloration and its evolutionary history in wheatears. #ScienceResearch

Happy to share this publication with @CRouxEvo in @PCIEvolBiol

We showed that termites have reduced efficiency of natural selection compared to non-social relatives. Interestingly, this effect increases with the level of social complexity.

NEW Publication (& I'm last author!)😊

We discuss #phylogenomic methods🌲 for leveraging reticulate #evolution🧬 to elucidate the timing of evolutionary events⏱️, like disentangling #introgression from ILS

So happy to see my fantastic mentee @SaelinBjornson get this work out!

Our long nightmare has ended.

The remaining imprisoned #IranianEnvironmentalists will be finally released.

This is a great day for Iran’s environment. 🌱✌️
