EECG Epilogue: Species differences in hormonally mediated gene expression underlie the evolutionary loss of sexually dimorphic coloration in Sceloporus lizards

About the Author Chris Robinson (he/him) is a PhD candidate in Bob Cox’s lab at the University of Virginia. His interests lay in how hormones contribute to phenotypic development and the evolution of hormone-genome interactions. His work uses hormonal manipulations, transcriptomics, and cellular imaging to understand how traits are gained and lost among closely related […]

Behind the Science: Male-biased mutation rates in snakes

  About the Author: Drew Schield (@drschield) is an NSF postdoctoral fellow working in Dr. Rebecca Safran’s lab at University of Colorado Boulder. He is interested in how evolutionary processes shape genomic diversity and identifying genomic regions that underly adaptive traits and promote reproductive isolation. His work also focuses on the evolution of sex chromosomes and […]
