Nuevo artículo! Virilastacus es otro mundo dentro de la familia Parastacidae en Chile y una gran oportunidad para estudiar especiación ecológica en el bosque valdiviano. Gracias a Guille, Peter y Charly por el aguante!

New paper! Species limits in the crayfish genus Virilastacus.

Y ese sería el siguiente paso para describir nuevas especies. ¡Lo del material fósil esta muy interesante! Casi no hay nada de eso en este grupo para Sudamérica.

Sweet! I hope that works.

Thank you #Evol2025 organizers! We are feeling inspired and our hearts are full after seeing our familiar herp (and scientist) friends :)

Hi Pedro. I have experience with BA3. I have generated the input file using PGDSpider from the VCF file.

Check out our preprint on #salamander 🦎 #macrogenetics 🧬 work. This was a lab-collaboration (lots of 1st time authors!) paper that I was lucky enough to be part of, headed by the Amphibian and Reptile Biodiversity Lab (ARBL) @ #UNM #Biology postdoc Luis Amador @luchoamador.bsky.social. 👏🎉 Well done!

It looks like a nice preprint about macrogenetics of global salamanders and newts. We put a lot of love and effort in this one. Now we are waiting for reviewers' comments.

Population genomics of four co-distributed frog species in a barrier island system Abstract. In nature, small populations are often of concern because of limited genetic diversity, which underlies adaptive potential in the face of environ

In another paper published this year academic.oup.com/biolinnean/a..., with members of the Amphibian & Reptile Biodiversity Lab at @unm.bsky.social we investigate genomic variation in populations of four frog species in a barrier island system in Florida.

Machine learning and phylogenetic models identify predictors of genetic variation in Neotropical amphibians Aim Intraspecific genetic variation is key for adaptation and survival in changing environments and is known to be influenced by many factors, including population size, dispersal and life-history t...

This was published early this year, and I want to share it here with you. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... With Lisa Barrow and Irvin Arroyo @unm.bsky.social, we wrangled 1000s of genetic seqs and traits from >250 Neotropical amphibians to investigate predictors of genetic variation.

Looks like a great place to upload pictures of cats
