Posted on 17 Apr, 2017 by Jeremy Yoder

It’s a cliche to say that we live in a moment of unprecedented possibility for molecular ecology, as high-throughput sequencing methods drive the cost of collecting DNA sequence data ever lower. But at the same time, it’s a tricky moment, … Continue reading →

The Goldilocks zone of missing data

Posted on 16 Sep, 2015 by Rob Denton

Reduced representation sequencing approaches, such as RADseq and UCEs, have provided some fascinating inferences in recent years, but something has always been missing in these analyses: data. As sampled taxa become more divergent, the price paid for more loci is … Continue reading →

The genomics of bee sociality

Posted on 27 May, 2015 by Noah Snyder-Mackler

Bee species cover the spectrum of sociality: there are solitary bees, there are eusocial bees – which are divided into facultative eusocial (the ones that can be either solitary or eusocial depending on external cues) and obligate eusocial bees, and … Continue reading →
