🐆 This Monday at the #ERGAPlenary: Stefan Prost presents “From Genomes to Conservation Policy”, using endangered cheetahs to show how genetic data can inform conservation decisions 🧬 🔗 www.erga-biodiversity.eu/post/from-ge... @oulu.fi

🚨 #postdoc alert ❤️‍🔥 I'm looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join my group at @cpgsthlm.bsky.social and @stockholm-uni.bsky.social working on #woollymammoth genomics 🦣🦴🧬✨ Deadline: 30th Nov. +Info about the position 👉 www.su.se/english/divi... +info about CPG 👉 palaeogenetics.com RT pls

New paper out on the use of macrogenomics to study changing marine ecosystems. It was really fun to write! Thanks to Leif Andersson, Kerstin Johannesson, @ulfbergstrom.bsky.social and @awallberg.bsky.social royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

4 years fully funded in a very fun department!

Online now: The paradox of persistence: island species as models for conservation

Very happy to see our paper out in Nature! 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇 A huge collaborative effort to revisit the evolutionary history of bats using 103 reference-quality genomes and an extensive fossil dataset, and to build a genomic resource for many questions still to come. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Island species 🏝️ frequently experience founder events and population bottlenecks 🧬 and are often subject to disturbances that further reduce population sizes. Despite these challenges, some island lineages persist for millennia 🕰️ —the paradox of persistence. Here’s what we learned about it:

This. 💯 this. "Our work highlights an important knowledge gap: we still lack integrative, cross-taxon genomic time-series datasets linking deleterious variation, fitness, and demography." 👏 Maëva Gabrielli et al @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social 👀 #ConSERTeam🧬

Islands are amazing #biodiversity study systems. Here is our perspective on how they can be used as models for #conservation Thanks to José and Maëva for their great leadership on this #consgen #popgen

We are recruiting a PhD student 🥼🙋 Topic: how germ cells bend gene expression dogmas Fly genetics + proteomics + genomics. Fully funded. Aarhus University 🇩🇰 info on the project and how to apply👇 mbg.au.dk/en/peter-and... I'd really appreciate it if you'd help spread the word. Thanks

We have a new paper! Here we argue that the Global South needs to play a central role in biodiversity genomics, and not be relegated to sample providers. We also propose a pathway forward. #genomics #consgen www.frontiersin.org/journals/sci...

It was a great experience chairing S15 sympo at #SMBE2026 with @carolinapacheco.bsky.social & Cindy, but it was tainted by Anubhab's absence, which is a reminder that the world is not equally open to all. Imagine the kinds of talks we can get if the world is more open!

Just one more talk, please? ☝️ #SMBE2026 in Copenhagen concludes. It's been an amazing week - with the largest ever attendance at an SMBE meeting! #society

Aftet a great #SMBE2026 social dinner @xuejingwang.bsky.social is presenting this work in the open symposium. Main room 10:45am Come listen to her :)
