Research scientist contracted to NMFS studying population genomics in marine fishes of the North Pacific. I also like to surf, dive, bird, and admire trees.

In the early stages of assessing genetic population structure in Pacific Sardine, we detected Japanese Sardine along the west coast of North America for the first time!

Out today in @EvolAppJournal, we use population genomics to show Pacific Sardine (Sardinops sagax) in the North Pacific are characterized by panmixia. @NOAAFisheries @WesLarson1 1/5

individuals collected from Oregon, U.S. to the Gulf of California, M.X. Although we found evidence for genomic structural variation on several chromosomes (i.e., inversions), none of the putative inversions showed any evidence of geographic differentiation and our results 4/5

Who knew such cuteness was lurking in the eastern Pacific abyssal zone? This is the bumpy snailfish, Careproctus colliculi n. sp. described by Gerringer et al. in Ichs & Herps., sequences now in GenBank. https://t.co/HWeqaQwYMc

Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Scopes trial telling students in central Tennessee about their inner fish. I’m so grateful to the high school and middle school teachers who brought their students from small schools to the event (some from almost an hr away).

📢New paper out in @molecology !📢
We provide evidence of cryptic/incipient speciation in the Black Surfperch occurring on coastal islands. Popgen and phylogenomic methods show 5 distinct groups and evidence of reproductive barriers.

If you want to hear about how discovered Japanese Sardine in the Eastern Pacific check out this podcast from NOAA Fisheries! And read more about it in our paper in @molecology here https://t.co/Hvc4HASQF3

[NOAA Fisheries @NOAAFisheries]

On our latest podcast, we hear from the scientist who discovered Japanese sardines off the coast of California, thousands of miles from their normal range. How did they get here? What does it mean for native sardines? Are they staying? Tune in to find out: https://t.co/yjIfdhKwdI

Really cool story here on sardine genomics which uncovered an unexpected Japanese species in the mix of the California sardine population made possible by a new chromosome level genome and low coverage pop genetics !
