Published in Gene, Austin Garner with colleagues Ben Goulet, Matt Farnitano, Francesco Molina, and Robin Hopkins, review the process of reinforcement, the evolution of traits that prevent costly hybridization. The review article focuses on how genomics can be leveraged to understand reinforcement. Abstract»
Supported by a Sinnott Award, Callin Switzer with colleagues Robin Hopkins and Stacy Combes examined the unique method of pollination in mountain laurel. With the anther filaments acting as catapults, the pollen reaches speeds of 8 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest moving plants in the world! Abstract» Harvard Gazette»

Ben Goulet and Kristel Schoonderwoerd passed their preliminary exams, becoming official PhD candidates in the Hopkins Lab and Friedman Lab. Congratulations Ben and Kristel!
Sevan Suni, postdoctoral fellow in the Hopkins Lab, will join the biology department at the University of San Francisco, in San Francisco CA as a tenure track assistant professor in January 2018. Congratulations Sevan!
Federico Roda, Robin Hopkins and colleagues used genomic analyses to examine the role of gene flow in flower color divergence in Phlox drummondii. Comparing transcriptomes between four Phlox species, they found asymmetric gene flow consistent with the asymmetric morphological divergence in flower color. The results are published in Molecular Ecology. abstract »
Ben Goulet, PhD candidate in the Hopkins Lab, received honorable mention for his NSF GRFP proposal to study hybrid speciation in Phlox. Congratulations Ben!
