The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Arkansas is hiring a TT Assistant Professor Position in Ecology. We have a wonderful group of colleagues. Join us! Apply here: tinyurl.com/yxk5marb

Had a great time sharing my research at Pittsburg State University last Friday. Always a pleasure to visit a herbarium (KSP), especially with a bunch of collections from South America!

Now online at PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

1/7 🐟🧬 New preprint! "The largest radiations of freshwater fishes initiated at the K-Pg boundary" Phylogeny of Otocephala: Clupeiformes, Alepeocephaliformes, & Ostariophysi 144 species, UCEs + whole genomes, Bayesian dating. 11,700+ species covered. Here is what we found 🧵👇

My new book, Phylogenetic Biology, is now published. Available online for free at dunnlab.org/phylogenetic... . Physical copies can be purchased at shop.lightningsource.com/b/085?params... or your favorite bookstore.

Annual reminder to not dwell in the venting tab too much here. Though it's awesome that the annual salary range is listed now!

Excited to share the published version with some added experiments and analyses: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

#Evol2026 I’m launching a new research group at UNC Charlotte in January 2027. Prospective students, postdocs, and collaborators are welcome to get in touch: jacob.berv@charlotte.edu More at jakeberv.com, lab website coming soon.

New paper from our group by Christina Harvey in Proceedings B @royalsocietypublishing.org on the fascinatingly, unexpectedly complex evolution of vertebrate skeletal muscle myosins. Thanks to collaborators Matt Fuxjager, Eric Schuppe, and Michael Brainard. royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

Our phylogenetic classification of >400 diatom genera is now published in Journal of Phycology. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

Last week I gave my promotion seminar. Today, I have to give a 20 minute presentation about what I do to my 11 year old son's science class. Guess which one gives me the most anxiety?

Fantastic meeting! I had a great time and honored to have been able to give a talk.

Unfortunately, I couldn't join in person #eseb2025, but the organizers kindly accommodated a video. Posted here in case you missed it! youtu.be/n9Ls9-8p8x0?...

New paper on diatom phylogenomics from our lab. Ten years in the making, but it always took a backseat to student and postdoc papers. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Excited to share a new paper with Sandra Guerrero-Rubio and @docbroc.bsky.social on the convergent evolution of betalains, now published in @newphyt.bsky.social! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/.... A 🧵

Deadline tomorrow, April 4th at 5:00pm! Apply & share!

@phylojennatics.bsky.social and @rlsavage.bsky.social, botanists and PhD students with the @maribethlatvis.bsky.social Lab in the Dept. of Biological Sciences at the @uarkansas.bsky.social recently taught students about botany, plant collecting, and biodiversity at the Holcomb Elementary STEM Night!

In recognizing that lots of students (undergrads and grads) are unaware of the dire situation created by the recent executive / DOGE actions, I am trying to compile a list of how these will impact folks so I can make materials and spread the word and get more advocates. 1/2

Hey! We’re looking for a woman in science who is actively promoted and supported women in biology to give a talk or lead a workshop. Let me know if you have any recommendations! #womeninstem

Does someone have a formal source on pauses on panels or funding for NSF?

The Pease Lab in the Dept of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at The Ohio State University is looking for a Postdoc interested in genotype-phenotype-environment evolution in plant and animal genomes. Details at osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/OSUCar... and more info at www.peaselab.org

Fantastic news!!! Congrats @tvasconcelos.bsky.social

Some Thoughts on the Dylan Biopic talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/some-...

New paper with @snaildit.bsky.social❗ You can use paralogs to reduce long-branch attraction! This will be especially helpful when there are no extant taxa that can be sampled to break up these branches. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

As I look back on another semester of teaching Evolutionary Biology with @phylieu.bsky.social, I think what stands out the most was the student who, in earnest, told us he had a question about Harvey-Weinstein Equilibrium.

Looks like we're not beating those nerd allegations for the 17th straight year.

Very cool stuff!

The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on? direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... A 🧵 1/n #AcademicSky #PhDchat #ScientificPublishing #SciPub

Hello world. 😭
