I'm excited to release the newest version of my free applied biostats textbook. It's tidyverse style, clarkia inspired and loads of fun Im putting this down until the end of the semester, when I'll add and polish additional chapters, but the 1st 21 are pretty solid yanivjb.github.io/biostats-book

Climate change is a huge challenge for endangered species because genetic variation needed to adapt is often lacking. Our new study in Science Advances highlights the potential for conservation breeding and reintroduction to boost resilience to climate change. @science.org doi.org/10.1126/scia...

The northern white rhino is effectively extinct. Can a healthy pop be restored from cryopreserved cells of only 12 inds? @arynwilder.bsky.social et al. show how restoration from biobanked cells eases constraints of a limited founder pool to enable recovery 🦏 📸 San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance

Multiple generations of talented rising stars just serendipitously opened a needed discussion on the composition, #transparency and #sustainability of #fish #feed! @marscicaf.bsky.social @giumaiello.bsky.social @rdowell.bsky.social @wileyecology.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

About 15-20 yrs ago, a bunch of reviews (inc. 1 by me) made predictions about the future of genomics in conservation. 1 yr ago at ICISB, Robin Waples assessed which of those predictions had been fulfilled. Sam May & Sam Rosenbaum now led the effort to turn this into a review: doi.org/10.1111/mec....
