The orange spines of Penguin books are iconic. I'm thrillled #NaturesMemory: Behind the Scenes at the World's Natural History #Museums comes out in Penguin paperback TODAY.🤩 This book shares some of the surprising, magical, odd and challenging things I've learned from working in them for 20+ years🧵

I wrote lectures about DE-EXTINCTION for my human evolution and anthropological genetics courses and have been really popular with students so I decided to turn it into a very long 🧵 I'll post everything as replies here but will try to break into bite size pieces and retweet as I go:

Intense ivory poaching has led to the evolution of tusklessness in some African elephant populations, which might reduce poaching, but also happens to be an X-chromosome–linked dominant trait that is lethal to males #EleFunFactFriday #TheMoreYouKnow 💫 🧪 🐘 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Ivory poaching and the rapid evolution of tusklessness in African elephants

Intensive ivory poaching during a period of civil conflict caused the rapid evolution of tusklessness in an African elephant population.

Thrilled to share our new paper out in BMC, part of my postdoc at @cornellvet.bsky.social! 🐘🐀 We found that larger mammals evolve more diverse morphologies, while smaller ones can explore many locomotor strategies without much change to their forelimbs. bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

We designed these materials for undergrad & grad students in conservation, evo bio, or mol ecol. They can help instructors bring ancient DNA & museum science into the classroom. I hope they inspire the next generation of conservation geneticists & museum researchers! 💡🧬🦴

It´s already February, and that means we have a new #AaRCTikTalks. This month we'll focus on museomics, or the use of museum collections as sources of #aDNA data. Come and check out our amazing speakers on Friday 28th! Save the date!

Hi! I don't know why it took me so long to leave xitter, but here I am :) It will take me a while to rebuild my network, so suggestions of who to follow or starter packs on evolutionary biology, micro-to-macro evolution, speciation, genomics... are welcome!
