Happy to share our latest paper lead by my amazing Honours students (now PhD student) Kamryn Carter. We used modern genomics to look at the diversity of an old endemic gecko from the Chilean Atacama desert, and found very deep hidden diversity, so what was being recently proposed as a single species is at the very least two old species and potentially a bunch of other species in there too. This shows the power of looking at the secrets DNA hides. A lot more work to do on this system for sure! The two photos correspond to Garthia gaudichaudii and Garthia penai. Message me for a PDF.

Me complace compartir nuestro último artículo científico, liderado por mi increíble estudiante de tesis (ahora estudiante de doctorado) Kamryn Carter. Utilizamos la genómica moderna para analizar la diversidad de un antiguo geco endémico del desierto de Atacama en Chile y encontramos una profunda diversidad oculta. Así, lo que recientemente se propuso como una sola especie se encuentra en al menos dos especies antiguas, y posiblemente también en muchas otras. Esto demuestra el poder de analizar los secretos que esconde el ADN. Sin duda, queda mucho trabajo por hacer en este sistema! Las dos fotos corresponden a Garthia gaudichaudii y Garthia penai. Escribánme para un PDF.

Estas fotos las tomé la ultima vez que estuve con el gran Andy Charrier, que me con su característica bondad me llevó a ver a sus queridos anfibios de los altos Andes de Santiago, a unos 3000 metros de altura.

Lo increible es que revelé estas fotos solo horas antes de enterarme de tu partida. No se como interpretar eso, pero para mi tiene un significado. Al mundo le hace falta un ejercito de Andys. Descansa en paz querido.

1. Alsodes montanus
2. Alsodes tumultuosus
3. Rhinella spinulosa
