Congratulations Javier! Great work!
@jillahamilton.bsky.social It was a real pleasure having you at @okstate.edu! One of the best parts of our work is meeting colleagues who share our passion for what we do. Your visit was truly inspiring for our lab and hopefully marks the beginning of future collaborations!

Fieldwork in Monahans Sandhills State Park, one of the study sites for our research focused on how local adaptation and hybridization shape genetic variation in shinnery oakβa foundational species that stabilizes sand dunes in the south-central US.

Curro! For real, that place is something else. We camped at a very remote place and it was incredible. Being way out in the middle of nowhere, the stars were just mind-blowing.

Here are some photos from our fieldwork at Big Bend Ranch State Park! We collected leaf samples from Quercus hinckleyi to investigate epigenetic variation within populations. This research is supported by the International Oak Society.

Fieldwork in western OK! Today we scouted for shinnery oak populations in Quartz Mountains and surroundings. What a cool place Quartz Mountains State Park! Finally, we found our study population near Blair. Ryan has another piece of information for his assessment of the speciesβ genomic variation!
