A story we've been working on for 10 years is finally out in Current Biology. We found that exposure to the same source of divergent selection results in variable degrees of convergence across different levels of biological organization. #TeamFish#Fish#Evolutionwww.cell.com/current-biol...
Convergent evolution is rarely studied in disparate but sympatric lineages. Greenway et al. study extremophile fishes and find that exposure to the same source of divergent selection results in variab...
Great new reconstruction - years in the making - for global temperatures over the last 500 million years. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
A long-term record of global mean surface temperature (GMST) provides critical insight into the dynamical limits of Earth’s climate and the complex feedbacks between temperature and the broader Earth ...
Congratulations!
First day on the job as a NOAA Fisheries Research Biologist, stationed at the National Systematics Lab in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. I'll be developing and streamlining bioinformatics workflows, as well as leading and supporting research on systematics, evolution, and more!
There are some people who are amazing at taking complicated topics and breaking them down into the most critical pieces, and communicating clearly about them. I wish I was better at this, but in the meantime, I'm taking notes from people who are the masters. open.substack.com/pub/sciencef... 🧪
To learn how to distill complex topics into direct communication, we can look beyond science for role models.
New paper describing the depth stratification of reef fish communities in the Caribbean. Excellent work led by a great student! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A prevailing problem in evolutionary biology is elucidating the genotype-phenotype map that characte
Stoked to have received an NSF CAREER award. Wildly irresponsible use of taxpayer money as far as I'm concerned, but I'll take it... 😅 Stay tuned for more research on tiny fish and their involvement in coral reef energy and nutrient fluxes. cns.utexas.edu/news/accolad...
Five College of Natural Sciences faculty have earned recent Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Awards from the National Science Foundation.
I am OVER THE MOON that our paper is out at Am Nat today! We find phylogeny & biogeographic contingency shape functional diversity in cichlid radiations. It's my first as co-first author, & Chris Martinez was an A+ co-lead. We had an amazing team-I am so proud of this work! doi.org/10.1086/731477
