New paper in Molecular Ecology integrating population genomic and functional genomic evidence for extremely rapid adaptation in invasive Florida Burmese pythons

Congrats to first author Daren Card (now a postdoc in Scott Edward’s lab) on a nice paper integrating population genomic data with functional genomic data and physiological/histological data to convincingly demonstrate that invasive Florida Burmese python populations have experienced strong and rapid in situ evolution and adaptation. “Novel ecological and climatic conditions drive rapid adaptation in invasive Florida Burmese pythons” http://www.castoelaboratory.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2018_Card_MolEcol_Pythons.pdf
