The results of my masters research at @ESPMasonU on population genetics of the Atlantic Song Sparrow are out in Evolution! #openaccess
Large beaked, heavily streaked, and gray, these coastal birds aren't your typical backyard Song Sparrow.

Why is it βcancelledβ in the U.K. but βcanceledβ in the U.S.?
Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Does adaptive evolution repeat itself? Our new paper (many years in the making) now out in @ScienceAdvances shows evidence that yes! (1/13)

The biggest hummingbird in the world is a new species.
Now out in @PNASNews and 8 years in the making, here's how we figured it out with mini tracking devices, genomics, and a century and a half of museum specimens.π

No matter where you live, you likely enjoy the companionship of one of the worldβs most ubiquitous birds: the sparrow. For World Sparrow Day, weβd like to highlight a Sparrow youβre likely less familiar with. Meet the Sierra Madre Sparrow! π²π½ π¦

Omg, first time Iβve had a paper posted on @Jente_O page. π€ͺ

1/13 π¨π¨ I am so excited to present our new paper, six years in the making. Here, we provide the first strong evidence that there is a molecular mechanism behind the origins of living fossil lineages! #biology #science #paleontology academic.oup.com/evolut/advaβ¦
Just out in @molecology! We used RADseq to characterize the population structures of 3 at-risk coastal sparrows.
Species' distributions and other habitat factors drive population structures, not degree of ecological specialization.

Happy centennial toβthe official description ofβone of my favorite birds, the Atlantic Song Sparrow!
In 1924, ornithologist W.E.C. Todd published this coastal sbsp. description based on specimens collected from Cobb & Smith (VA), Pea (NC), and Long (NY) islands.

End of an era: Packed up my life in Washington DC and now back in Singapore.
It was a wonderful time, and I'm glad for the experiences, everyone I've met in the course of my time there, and again before leaving.
Now to adjust to the heat, humidity, and ice cream prices.

Every year, too many Americans are injured or killed in crashes involving cars and wildlife, especially in rural areasβwe're tackling this challenge with first-of-its-kind funding. The projects weβre funding today will reduce collisions between drivers & wildlife.
Every year, vehicle collisions with large animals kill 200 people and injure almost 26,000.
Today, we're announcing major funding to improve wildlife crossings across the countryβstrengthening roadway safety and saving lives.

New Open Access Paper! (link.springer.com/article/10β¦) We examined the evolutionary and demographic history of @TheSaltyMouse using whole mitochondrial genomes. We correlated divergence events with changes in predicted marsh distribution over the past 10,000 years. 1/
