Excited to share that my 2021 honours research is finally out in coral reefs: 10.1007/s00338-024-02496-7. My first time leading a publication with support of the wonderful @iva_pops @suthicke @CRiginos. Echinoderms are cool and eDNA can be a useful monitoring tool for plankton!

Wrapping up this years CoTS (Acanthaster) spawning @SeaSim_AIMS @aims_gov_au with @klesita and team with some icing on the cake: As a world first we spawned CoTS we produced in the lab 3 years ago and thus closed the lifecycle and produced F2 larvae. Will we get them to settle?

Our preprint is out! We report the first germline mutation rate estimate for a marine invertebrate using parent-offspring trios of crown-of-thorns sea stars to examine the determinants of genetic diversity in a species with extreme outbreaking tendencies biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

If we “replayed the tape of life”, would evolution repeat itself? In many instances, it does! Find out more in our review paper on Replicated Evolution in Plants 🌳🌵🌴 A thread 🧵 annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10…

nature.com/articles/s41586-0… Thanks to an awesome team, our trio-based de novo mutation rates study is now out! We estimated a rate for 68 vertebrate species and explore the male and female contributions and the impact of life-history traits on the evolution of the rate! Read more:
