Today I was working with this fantastic tool called GetOrganelle. I prepared a small tutorial to extract a mitochondrial genome from WGS. github.com/luchoamador/...

Nuevo artículo! Virilastacus es otro mundo dentro de la familia Parastacidae en Chile y una gran oportunidad para estudiar especiación ecológica en el bosque valdiviano. Gracias a Guille, Peter y Charly por el aguante! New paper! Species limits in the crayfish genus Virilastacus.

Thank you #Evol2025 organizers! We are feeling inspired and our hearts are full after seeing our familiar herp (and scientist) friends :)

Check out our preprint on #salamander 🦎 #macrogenetics 🧬 work. This was a lab-collaboration (lots of 1st time authors!) paper that I was lucky enough to be part of, headed by the Amphibian and Reptile Biodiversity Lab (ARBL) @ #UNM #Biology postdoc Luis Amador @luchoamador.bsky.social. 👏🎉 Well done!

It looks like a nice preprint about macrogenetics of global salamanders and newts. We put a lot of love and effort in this one. Now we are waiting for reviewers' comments.

In another paper published this year academic.oup.com/biolinnean/a..., with members of the Amphibian & Reptile Biodiversity Lab at @unm.bsky.social we investigate genomic variation in populations of four frog species in a barrier island system in Florida.

This was published early this year, and I want to share it here with you. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... With Lisa Barrow and Irvin Arroyo @unm.bsky.social, we wrangled 1000s of genetic seqs and traits from >250 Neotropical amphibians to investigate predictors of genetic variation.
