Big news! After 5+ years and 5 publications, my entire Ph.D. is published!!! 🧬🥳🧬🐸🧬🥳🧬 *** This paper was a major achievement, involving the assembly of an entire transcriptome (all protein-coding sequences) for a species lacking any genomic resources!

Using landscape genomics to delineate future adaptive potential for climate change in the Yosemite toad (Anaxyrus canorus)
Our exciting EVA paper develops new methods in landscape genomics (including spatial simulations) to forecast the fate of this beautiful species!

Here's something I once learned in virology school that should make you feel a bit better about why, unlike the flu, #COVID19 most likely won't be able to mutate to escape the vaccines we're developing. It has to do with the fact that COVID-19's genome is made up of...
Lepidophyma reticulatum, Costa Rican Tropical Night Lizard, Puntarenas Province, CR. These secretive lizards flatten the curve to the extreme—they have a tiny home size, and rarely encounter each other. This may be why most are parthenogenetic, meaning they are all female!!
More of our series: Frogs, pissed about the world. Oophaga pumilio, Strawberry Poison-dart Frog. Oophaga provide dual parental care: the female lays unfertilized eggs for the tadpoles to eat ("Oon" = egg, Phagos = "eater"), while the male defends and provides moisture. #omelette
What is this 'Social Distancing'? . . . . . . . . . Rhinella horribilis, Heredia Province, CR #herpetology #herps #toad #toadsoftwitter #bufonid #rhinella #bufo #horribilis #marinus #canetoad #wildlife #macrophotography #costarica #nature #ecology #mites #socialdistancing
Agalychnis callidryas, Red-eyed Treefrog metamorph. Eyes become peripherally red approximately two weeks after metamorphosis, and the red pigment then spreads inward to envelop the entire iris. #treefrog #wildlife #macrophotography #costarica #nature #ecology #metamorph #padawan
Thecadactylus rapidcauda, Turnip-tailed Gecko. This huge species possesses excellent night vision, and unparalleled toe lamellae. Easily able to climb smooth vertical surfaces, they may stay attached to glass well after death. We found this one inside a massive strangler fig!
