Phillip Davidson

Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences @ Mississippi State

[Phillip Davidson @PhilDavidson]

Positively thrilled to share I will be joining the Department of Biological Sciences at Mississippi State University (@msstate_biology) in Fall 2025 as an Assistant Professor!

Stay tuned for updates on gene regulatory evolution and evo-devo from the Davidson Lab!

[Phillip Davidson @PhilDavidson]

Our lab at @msstate_biology is recruiting graduate students (PhD/MSc) to join us in Spring or Fall 2026! If you—or someone you know—are interested in researching evo-devo and comparative genomics of horned dung beetles, check out our site & get in touch! https://t.co/dIdPA5E5tf

Hope this becomes required reading for grad classes!

Moczek-lab members and various hangers on went on a rather unusual field trip this weekend!

[Whitney Laboratory @Whitney_Lab]

We're proud to announce that @veronica_hinman will be joining us as the new director of @UF's #WhitneyLab, starting January 1, 2025!

Dung beetle central went back to the source today, so to speak! @NCSE @EricaNadolski @rohner_patrick @ezattara @PipettuaJones

[Phillip Davidson @PhilDavidson]

Check out our recent work exploring the role of chromatin accessiblity and genome evolution during plastic trait development/diversification: https://t.co/Io2QJK9WXE . Plus three new chromosome-resolved dung beetle genomes to boot! Beetle horns rock! @NSF @PLOSGenetics

[Armin Moczek @ecoevodevo_lab]

All organisms adjust which genes to express when to environmental conditions. Yet how genetic and environmental inputs are integrated to allow gene regulatory networks to act in an adaptive, context-dependent manner remains poorly understood. (1/3) https://t.co/L1ISrjtaOT

It took us forever to get a new lab picture, but here we finally are! Such a fantastic group to be part of! Find out more at https://t.co/TVdMb5wl81 @IUCollege @IUBiology @NSF @NCSE
