Casillas et al. investigated the genetic basis of a unique longitudinal dorsal stripe pattern in adders from Gossa Island, identifying a significantly differentiated genomic region containing PMEL and a missense variant in this gene.

My main PhD paper is out on bioRxiv! 🎉
The microbiomes of wild animals, besides the gut, remain unexplored. To help remedy this, we used museum-preserved dental calculus to characterise the oral microbiome of 34 diverse mammal species. 💀🦠🦷

Fantastic dental calculus and where to find it

Johnny Richards and team (@markella-morait.bsky.social + curators from 5 museums) survey >140 mammalian species with >1,600 specimens to understand what factors determine dental calculus formation. #aDNA #museomics
