PhD candidate at the University of Toronto studying the genomics of speciation. Currently studying skuas, manakins, and rates of sequence evolution.
Exit seminar done!

If anyone wants to learn about the evolutionary role of hybridization in skuas and manakins, my exit seminar will be livestreamed on Youtube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC38...
(starts at 9:30 EST, but the recording should remain available for a while at that link)

Ooh, those are lovely! I'm definitely due for a visit, haven't been since I was a preteen. Hopefully some time in the next few years I can make the trip!

There's a bunch of weird reproductive modes - gynogenesis, androgenesis, hybridogenesis, and kleptogenesis that mostly occur in weird hybrid lineages (but sometimes within non-hybrids too) that often parasitize the genomes of related species (or one of the parental species of a hybrid)

We composted ‘biodegradable’ balloons. Here’s what we found after 16 weeks
Since 1989, the balloon industry has relied on a problematic study that claimed balloons degraded “at about the same rate as oak tree leaves” after six weeks. We put it to the test.

Ooh nice! I wonder if any of my family saw it
