✋!

Hey y'all. I'm a month late to this, but I wanted to share that one of my PhD chapters was published in Systematic Biology with my advisor, Frank Burbrink. Here, we explore how ecological opportunity influences phenotypic evolution in North American natricid snakes. 🧵/8

Stony Brook E&E has just posted a postdoc-bridge-to-tenure-track-faculty focused on ecological and/or evolutionary responses to global change. Spread the word!

I’ll see you there!

thanks Alex - that means a lot from you!

Check out our review/perspective piece on phylogenetic diversification analysis, intended for the 75th anniversary of
@systbiol.bsky.social. I had the privilege of working with great coauthors, @fhenaodiaz.bsky.social, @tvasconcelos.bsky.social and @roszenil.bsky.social!

My department (ecology and evolution) is hiring a core bioinformatics/comp bio person (not TT but the last person retired after 25+ years). It's a great place to work!: stonybrooku.taleo.net/careersectio...

Anyone have an example of an interactive hands-on lab for teaching phylogenetic tree thinking for a zoology course?

Thanks @jaimiagray.bsky.social! I'll let you know if decide that I might use these.

I'll be teaching #herpetology next year, and I'm curious if anyone out there has taught this course with 3d printed materials, and if so, are the materials/files already detailed somewhere? Suggestions welcome! Thanks!

Very excited to share a huge project that's been a long time in the making. Interested in squamate macroevolution? Curious about how snakes fit into the broader ecological context of squamates? Looking for a new squamate phylogeny? Check out our new work: doi.org/10.1126/scie...
