Going from reading almost exclusively simulation studies and theory papers to almost exclusively canid systematics/fossil description papers has been an interesting experience!
Anyway look at this cool paper about Plio-Pleistocene European foxes!

Come watch our symposium this Thursday and Friday at the virtual @evolmtg.bsky.social!! it’ll be a hoot and a half

There's still time to catch our symposium if you run! Come through!!
Hope to see y'all at #Evol2026! I'll be talking about my simulation tests of cutting-edge fossilized birth-death models, and what we can learn from the Canidae phylogeny using these models. Come through! It'll be on Sunday (June 21st) at 5:15PM, room 22. Last talk first day 🤙
#Evol2026 has been a blast!! Hope to see some of you mutuals at my talk this evening. Let’s talk about dogs and fossils and dog fossils 😎

I hope to take a PhD student in 2026 to study siphonophores. Please reach out if you are interested in applying this fall. For examples of recent lab projects see www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... and academic.oup.com/gbe/article/...

Once upon a time, large bone-crushing dogs roamed across our continent. @restingdinoface.bsky.social takes a colorful look back at the lives of the successful carnivores. www.smithsonianmag.com/science-natu...
Don't miss the virtual Research Synthesis Working Group's symposium at #Evol2026 this week! The symposium is in two sessions across Thursday and Friday.
Topic: "Cross disciplinary approaches for understanding budding speciation"

Fossil foxes, genus Vulpes, are known since the Late Miocene of North America and the Old World but their record is utterly scarce, fragmentary, and r…
I hope to take a PhD student in the coming application cycle. Please reach out if you are interested in joining our lab in EEB at Yale, especially if interested in working on the natural history/ phylogenetics/ morphology/ population biology/ development/ genomics of siphonophores. dunnlab.org

Excited to share that we’ll be hosting a #symposium on #budding #speciation at this year’s virtual @evolmtg.bsky.social ( thread 🧵 1/12)
Before going extinct roughly two million years ago, canids known as borophagines took down and consumed much larger prey
