Excited to share this press article highlighting our recent paper. We looked at the benefits and risks of genetic rescue & developed new metrics to quantify genomic compatibility—to evaluate potential benefits and risks of rescue efforts

Can we safely use assisted gene flow to rescue endangered species without making things worse?
🧬 Our new study in @molecology use newly devised metrics to explore genomic compatibility in Massasauga rattlesnakes, showing the trade-offs of genetic rescue.

#Evol2024 was fun (and educational, too!) @SamarthPhD @AndrewMularo

[Samarth Mathur @SamarthPhD]

Super excited to see our Montezuma Quail cover on the Evolution and Evolution Letters banner at #Evol2024. Thank you Melinda and @sse_evolution for printing these cute quail stickers. Anyone and everyone who picked up these stickers at the booth, thank you too!! #evolution2024

[J. Andrew DeWoody @AndrewDeWoody]

Current and former lab members/affiliates at #Evol2024, we’re planning an informal lab social on Sunday evening; please feel free to join us! Details TBD but likely ~6-9ish somewhere with food and drinks @AndrewMularo @SamarthPhD

[Samarth Mathur @SamarthPhD]

@LittleMuseums Omg that’s excellent news!! Congratulations! I wish for your and baby’s good health 😇☺️ take care! Maybe next time. Again, congrats and take care.

@MekalaSund Thanks Mekala! ☺️ good to see you here! 😁

[J. Andrew DeWoody @AndrewDeWoody]

Congratulations to former PhD student Dr. Samarth Mathur! Samarth won the Outstanding Dissertation Paper award from the Society for the Study of Evolution for his 2023 paper in Evolution. Great job, Samarth!

Glad to be a part of this study published today in #BMCEcoEvo @BMC_series examining the evolutionary history of Speckled Dace, a fascinating and unique desert fish, using genomics and bioinformatics. Congratulations to all the coauthors!

New in ME!
Snake fungal disease (SFD) infects >40 🐍 species. Experimental transcriptomics by @SamarthPhD et al show SFD is likely systemic with chronic effects on hosts with 🥶❄️ temperature often resulting in severe responses.

Is neutral genetic variation a good predictor of the variation that matters? https://t.co/njEc6vtL9a

[Samarth Mathur @SamarthPhD]

How do infected snakes respond to Snake Fungal Disease, an emerging pathogenic disease that infects over 40 snake species? Does temperature play a role in host resistance and recovery?
Find out in our new article in @molecology where we explore these Qs 🧵

[Samarth Mathur @SamarthPhD]

Conclusion:
SFD may be a systemic disease where chronic fungal infections might lead to the most profound physiological changes. We report candidate genes and putatively functional loci that can help future studies to improve our understanding of SFD host–pathogen dynamics.
