Rudman lab @WSUVancouver is recruiting! We have positions available for a graduate student (MSc or PhD), a lab technician, a bioinformatics research technician, and a postdoc. If you're interested in eco-evo or genomics - more details in 🧵
Amir Gabidulin and @SethRudman present a package, Machine Learning Data Acquisition for Assessing Population Phenotypes, for collecting a variety of #Drosophila phenotypic data at scale in a reproducible manner.

I am super excited to share the first paper out of my PhD! Here, we chose D. melanogaster pigmentation as a model phenotype to study the nature and repeatability of complex trait evolution in the field . . .🧵

🚨 Attention bee folks and environmentalists! 🐝 Breaking Ground: New Insights on Pesticide Risks to Wild Bees, out today in @ConLetters and OPEN access. Let's dive into the details: https://t.co/nOWrPdIiBN
@LiberEroFellows@CNRSecologie@IPHC_Strasbourg@wsu@USC (1/6)
Pleased to announce that @SuseJohnston and I will be hosting a symposium at @Evol_mtg#evol2024: "Recombination Rate Variation: Causes, Consequences, and Evolution". All are free to apply, see https://t.co/bqJRepM4F3 for details! Please share/RT.
Check out his poster for an easy workflow for implementing computer vision for phenotyping large groups of individuals. He's keen to meet folks in the #PEQG crowd to put faces to names in the evolutionary genomics community! @PetrovADmitri@Emily_L_Behrman @MarkCBitter1
Bummed not to be at #TAGC24 but lab undergraduate student, Amir Gabidulin, is presenting poster P578 today detailing an awesome way to make computer vision flexible for collecting a wide range of phenotypic data.
We're hoping to have a broad ranging discussion about the factors that influence predictability - including eco-evolutionary dynamics, population genetics, and landscape genomics.
@SethRudman, Katie Lotterhos, Steve Keller @KellerLabUVM, and myself @MExpositoAlonso are organizing a cool symposium:
PREDICTING EVOLUTIONARY RESPONSES TO A CHANGING WORLD
🏔️☀️⛰️🧬
We welcome experimental as well as theoretical work and diverse model systems and taxa!
@sse_evolution @ASNAmNat @eseb_org@systbiol@Evol_mtg #Evol2024
Send you abstracts our way!
New 2-year Postdoc in my Evolutionary Ecosystem Ecology group in Switzerland (@EawagResearch). This position builds on almost 5 years of work in Southern Greenland (lots to publish!) and includes 1-2 new field excursions (lots of new data to collect).

#POSTDOC POSITION on the interactions between flies, their microbiome and their environment. 2+ years
If you have a PhD in #evolution, #ecology or #microbiology, enjoy #insect#experiments and could join in the coming months, I invite you to apply:

JOB on my team
Scientific technician studying torrent/giant salamanders, tailed frogs, toads, and mussels in Washington's Chehalis Basin
Pretty spots and good people!
$3,376 - 4,497/mo

@SamurSciCop @IanDworkin Got it. You also need haplotype resolution, either through individual sequencing or a haplotype inference method, throughout too I guess
New preprint. Positive selection + gene conversion = "soft" sweeps, because the selected allele gets copied onto new genetic backgrounds during the sweep. Check it out here: https://t.co/CLWCh12dJL (1/2)
Preprint of my postdoctoral work with the #MOILAB@MExpositoAlonso is out! We describe a natural selection conflict between traits that enable populations to escape stress by accelerating phenology vs avoiding the stress by increasing water use efficiency https://t.co/INSzKUIU4j
Curious about short-term dynamics of natural selection? Wondering how they differ from long-term ones?
Our article with @ten_olivier is out now! @PNASNews https://t.co/n9hqvz4YlJ
A quick thread 🧵
