Last, but not less important! I have a poster at #evolution2023. Find me at the board #74 to talk about “Signals of both purifying and directional selection across the species continuum” #Evol2023

After listening great talks at #Evol2023, It’s my turn now!!! Come join me at Galisteo 110 at 11:15 am ! Hybridization IV

ALT Degree: PhD. in Ecoloyg and Evolutionary Biology, Favorite Collection: Waterfowl collection
ALT I am part of the Lavretsky Lab, where I am conducting a PhD research project focusing on population genetics of interbred domestic and wild mallards. Specifically, I am interested in incorporating findings from contemporary DNA analyses to conventional methods to better understand and conserve species.

Iiiiit's time for #MeetTheMuseumMonday! Meet Vergie, a UTEP alum, waterfowl preparator and technician for Ornithology Curator @LavretskyLab ! #ornithology #birds #museumlife
ALT I am a UTEP alumni and graduated back in Fall 2020 with a BS in Environmental Science with a Concentration in Biology. I am now a technician for Dr. Lavretsky's Population and Genetics lab which focuses on the mallard complex. My job here is balanced between lab and museum work! I mostly prepare waterfowl species that we keep in the teaching collections here at UTEP

Are you excited for Curator @LavretskyLab 's Waterfowl Ecology class next semester? So are we! Behind the scenes of collections based classes, curatorial assistants like Alonso, and students organize and pull specimens that will be used during the courses. #waterfowl #ornithology

I'm proud to present a new method (with @VeroMiro1) for inferring the time since admixture, from phased AND unphased data!
You can find the paper here: buff.ly/3ADRoV4, and code to use our method here: cran.r-project.org/package=j…
A thread to explain what we did! 1/12

Thank you NSCA for helping us meet with our local officials! It's a great event and check out @LavretskyLab on the flyer with Susie Byrd in 2019! #CollectionsAreEssential
Don't forget to sign up for this important advocacy event from @AIBSbiology. Great opportunity to meet w/ your elected officials at their local district office, virtually, or invite them to tour your research site, botanical garden, herbaria, or museum. io.aibs.org/cdv
