Ben did this honors project in our lab and went on to receive a Marshall Scholarship for his PhD at the University of Oxford, where he has been since September. Ben took on an ambitious project involving creating a reference Stonechat genome and resequencing individuals from five different stonechat taxa at different degrees of differentiation (four species and one subspecies). Ben compared genomic landscapes&#8211;i.e. patterns of genomic differentiation&#8211;across all possible inter-taxon comparisons and asked if the same regions of the genome had become differentiated in independently evolving lineages. Ben found that the divergence landscapes were highly correlated, a result that was also true to a certain extent when comparing against the more distantly related <em>Ficedula<\/em> flycatchers. This degree of correlation could be the product of intrinsic properties of particular genomic regions, such as areas of low recombination. Ben&#8217;s paper is one of a growing list of studies that suggest that areas of high differentiation should not always be interpreted as islands of divergence.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1989\" src=\"https:\/\/live-lovette-lab.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-27-at-4.37.29-PM-300x212.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovette.eeb.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-27-at-4.37.29-PM-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/lovette.eeb.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-27-at-4.37.29-PM-150x106.png 150w, https:\/\/lovette.eeb.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-27-at-4.37.29-PM-768x542.png 768w, https:\/\/lovette.eeb.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-27-at-4.37.29-PM-1024x722.png 1024w, https:\/\/lovette.eeb.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-27-at-4.37.29-PM-213x150.png 213w, https:\/\/lovette.eeb.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-27-at-4.37.29-PM.png 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A paper resulting from Benjamin Van Dooren&#8217;s undergraduate honors thesis is out in the latest issue of Molecular Ecology where is is accompanied by a great commentary by Reto Buri.
