🚨 New paper! Something a little bit different this time. We used genomics to trace the invasion history of a predatory marine gastropod, identify potentially adaptive loci, and then leverage the invasive populations to test for predictable allele shifts!

Successful Invasion Into New Environments Without Evidence of Rapid Adaptation by a Predatory Marine Gastropod
Invasive species with native ranges spanning strong environmental gradients are well suited for examining the roles of selection and population history in rapid adaptation to new habitats, providing ...

Great to see this published in @gigascience.bsky.social! Using @nanoporetech.com, we generated genome and methylome resources simultaneously to drive molecular insights for conservation of loggerhead sea turtles in Cape Verde 🐢🧬🇨🇻

I'm happy to share that the spatial component of my dissertation work on 'lost years' sea turtles is out now!

If you're attending #SERSTM2025 this week, I'll be presenting the highlights in the #MovementEcology session this afternoon. 🌊🐢🗺️

🚨 We have an exciting new paper including the largest tracking dataset for WILD-caught dispersal stage sea turtles. This was part of @katrinaphillips.bsky.social‘s dissertation work funded in part by the Florida Restore Act Centers of Excellence Program.

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.
