At long last, my first paper (ever, first-author, and with @davetoews.bsky.social) is out in @plosone.org 🐦🎶
We quantified and compared song divergence within and between 8 pairs of common North American songbirds—please check it out!

Comparative bioacoustics of multiple eastern versus western songbird pairs in North America reveals a gradient of song divergence
Vocalizations are one of the key premating reproductive barriers that could affect species formation. In song-learning birds, vocal traits are sometimes overlooked in species delimitation, as compared...

Biologists at the University of Rochester are calling a discovery they made in a mysterious region of the chromosome known as the centromere a potential game-changer in the field of chromosome biology uofr.us/3ORe9P1

Centromeres could be ‘hotspots’ for evolutionary innovation
New research reveals that centromeres, which are responsible for proper cell division, can rapidly reorganize over short time scales.
