Innovation vs diversification
"Stability hypothesis: selection against phenotypic novelty enhances species diversifcation by strengthening dispersal limitation.
Novelty hypothesis: selection for phenotypic novelty impedes species diversifcation by weakening dispersal limitation."

New paper out today with @yichaozeng44 in @JEvBio modeling the effects of coevolution on diversification--hopefully the first step toward a predictive theory on this massive, complicated, and likely important evolutionary process. academic.oup.com/jeb/advance…

"Novelty or familiarity" may be a daily dilemma many face. In this @JEvBio paper, @DavidHembry and I show how, in coevolutionary diversification of clades, a similar dilemma exists and can play out differently depending on the (in)dependence of the clade. doi.org/10.1093/jeb/voae069

Postbac student in my lab Sarai Badillo is a new NSF GRFP recipient, interested in doing research on the influence of the parental microbiome on fetal development and its long-term consequences for disease and health. Any recommended departments/PIs that would be a good fit?

My former graduate advisee @ChheangPisal is looking to do a PhD in the US, on using remote sensing/modeling to assess wildfire impacts in Cambodian tropical dry forests. Any recommendations for departments/universities/advisors that would be a good fit for his interests?

Many thanks to @LabKnope for a fantastic seminar visit last week @UHHilo! Great conversations with students and faculty working on Pacific biodiversity. I'd been all over the Pacific, but not previously to the island Hawaiʻi; there is nowhere in the Pacific quite like Big Island.

Back from a very fun and enjoyable seminar at Angelo State University yesterday (at 131 miles campus-to-campus, the closest university to UTPB). Really great discussion with students after my talk. Many thanks to Greg Krukonis and the Department of Biology for hosting me!

Hi All, I'm recruiting a new grad student to join my lab at UWyoming in Fall 2024. Broadly speaking, we work on speciation and adaptation in birds. More info about the opportunity is here: carlinglab.com/people/
Thanks for spreading the word.

Many congratulations to undergrad researcher in the lab Jose Zapata, who has accepted a research technician job at the University of Iowa Medical School in @tfischer78 laboratory. This was Jose's host lab in summer 2022 at @NSF REU @uiowabiology. We're so excited for you Jose!

I had a wonderful seminar visit earlier this week at the University of Texas at Austin. Many highlights, one of which was a visit to the brand-new Hill Country field station along the Pedernales River. Many thanks to Alex Wild for the invitation!

We're excited to announce the lab has received an NSF REPS supplement to support Sarai Badillo as a postbac student in the lab for one year. Sarai was an undergraduate researcher in the lab, and will be working on leafflower moth caterpillar microbiomes in Texas. Congrats Sarai!
