What a day for @SavagelabUCF! Congrats to Matt for this #JMIH award recognizing his dissertation work on Perkinsea disease in FL frogs. See his paper out in @AnimalEcology last week for more details 😍

[Anna Savage @savagevolution]

So incredibly pleased for @KaptainRose who won this well-deserved award for her JMIH talk on sea turtle MHC evolution!

today I am extracting DNA from a large female Ro that was removed from the lung of a captive garter snake that died… the pet trade likely has a great influence on the spread of this invasive snake parasite. though morphology is consistent w Ro, I will confirm ID molecularly.

Here's the dissection video I've been promising! In this, @TerryFarrellSU & I show several snake dissections & discuss the differences between native & invasive snake pentastomes. The updated fact sheet & webinar details (5/24 at 4 PM ET) coming soon...

@Fitaklab @PalmisanoNoel @TerryFarrellSU @am_durso I also suggested that!!

[Anna Savage @savagevolution]

@PalmisanoNoel @TerryFarrellSU @am_durso I mean…it’s a slam dunk.

[Jenna Noel Palmisano @PalmisanoNoel]

I started an invasive snake lung parasite monitoring project a year ago with @TerryFarrellSU & now it’s grown big enough to have a name.

If you work with #seaturtle mtDNA, see supplement for tables of long-fragment haplotypes (>550bp) across species with GenBank accession # and synonymous names. 🐢🧬

For each haplotype, we included: life stages, countries, & ocean basin(s) where it's been found + citation.

@TreeSwallows I can’t wait to use them in class tomorrow!!

[AmphibiaWeb- we're on @amphibiaweb.bsky.social @AmphibiaWeb]

Invasive species often have lower genetic diversity, despite adapting to new conditions. How?

Lafond 2022 found bullfrogs maintained diversity at important functional loci involved with immunity.

These genes help the frogs combat the fungal disease Bd.

@Fitaklab @illumina @LEGO_Group This is so cool!!!

[Anna Savage @savagevolution]

Yes we had one spot open up! Grab it while you can & contact me with any questions @UCF undergrads

[Lindsey Bridges @CognoscoEvo]

@UCF ❗️OPEN SPOT❗️ in @savagevolution's BSC4445C Genomics Lab this semester!🧬

Learn hands-on laboratory techniques and sequence [RNAseq] the whole transcriptome of a🐸's liver tissue (genus Pristimantis) with us!

MW 9:30am-12:30pm*

Enjoying all the cool talks at #GARD2022! #RDZLab members Tristan and Monica (@wildlifemoon ) did a great job presenting their thesis research 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽🐸🐍🍄 #LatinxPI #txstbio #txst

[Anna Savage @savagevolution]

Leon Grayfer putting the Lego pieces together explaining how endogenous retroviruses contribute to tadpole resistance to Ranavirus - super cool stuff!! #GARD2022

[Anna Savage @savagevolution]

Exciting work by Kelsey Hauser on mast cell enrichment elevating Bd resistance, likely through control of inflammation! #GARD2022

[Anna Savage @savagevolution]

And what a cool and important talk about Bd tolerance, resistance, and evo-evolutionary implications!

[Dr. Matt Atkinson @ThatDermoGuy]

Can we talk about how awesome the slide design for Laura Grogan’s talk are. It’s amazing how much good slide and figure design makes a difference and makes the study so much more accessible #GARD2022
