Senior Lecturer at Monash University. I study evolution, invasion, genomics and plant sex. I am a fan of public radio, running and anagrams.

Our #ragweed haploblocks paper is out! We used #herbarium samples to show that this major cause of hay fever has used large inversions to adapt during its invasion of Europe. Super proud of this work nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Rogue ragweed multiplies as a result of species supergenes 🌱🧬: Supergenes present in ragweed enable the invasive species to adapt to foreign environments, research by @MonashBiol's Dr Paul Battlay, Jonny Wilson and Dr @shaky_dingo in @NatureComms shows: bit.ly/40DLTmB

.@MonashBiol scientists have found that ragweed's strong ability to adapt and thrive in new environments may have implications for hay fever sufferers. bit.ly/2FHMpLX #hayfever

It's finally out! @BiekerVanessa's enormous popgen study of recent rapid adaptation in 655 resequenced invasive plant genomes AND leaf metagenomes, using >300 historic herbarium specimens! With @shaky_dingo @JaeBrealey @chocci_boi & many others.

Achoo! Check out this massive effort led by @BiekerVanessa @MuseumEvoGen and I to uncover the genomic basis of invasion in ragweed using hundreds of historic and modern genomes @chocci_boi @MonashBiol science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

1st paper of the #GlobalUrbanEvolution project came out today in @ScienceMagazine. How fitting to have clover on the cover for St. Paddy's Day 🍀☘️🍀☘️! We show that urbanization leads to similar enviro changes and repeated adaptation across the world science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… 1/8

In this preprint on plant invasiveness, during 5 years @BiekerVanessa sequenced 650 ragweed genomes, incl. 300 historic herb. specimens! With an equal number of shotgun metagenomes, we investigate the enemy release hypothesis. Work with @shaky_dingo.

It is finally out! Gigantic haploblocks/inversions do all the heavy lifting in sunflower adaptation (well, a lot of it)! Congrats to all involved @Nat_be @Greg_Owens @init_js @ShaghayeghSoudi @sam_yeaman @jmbrkphd @stephane_munos @licianova @hkchi12

New research by @Brechann @shaky_dingo @JohnStinchcombe corroborates past findings that ragweed has been able to adapt to its invasive range and its genetic, phenotypic, and ecological traits make it very likely that the invasion will worsen onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Congrats to #UBC botanist Loren Rieseberg who has been elected to the @theNASciences. His work focuses on members of the sunflower genus Helianthus. Sunflowers have a natural resilience to droughts and could help us tackle climate change. bit.ly/3cTGe37.
