The Genomic Imprint of Chromosomal Inversions and Demographic History in Island Populations of Deer MiceAbstract. Populations that colonize islands experience novel selective pressures, fluctuations in size, and changes to their connectivity.

Models used for Red List assessments underestimate climate-related extinction risk of range-shifting species - Nature Ecology & EvolutionClimate change is a threat to many species. Here the authors show that species’ range dynamics determine the ability of correlative and process-based models to predict extinction risk under climate ch...doi.orgNew position for Postdoctoral Research Associate! @rbuggs.bsky.social careers.kew.org/vacancy/post...

Estimates of the Mutation Rate per Year Can Explain Why the Molecular Clock Depends on Generation TimeAbstract. Rates of molecular evolution are known to vary across species, often deviating from the classical expectation of a strict molecular clock.
