Do you prefer the mountain 🏔️ or the beach 🏖️? The Mazarine blue chose both. Genomics uncover hidden diversity and lead to the description of two new subspecies from isolated montane and coastal populations in Iberia.

🧵 Why are there so many habitat-specialist squirrels?
A new global study explores how habitat specialization has shaped squirrel evolution 👇🐿️🌍
Investigadores del @mncn-csic.bsky.social determinan que pasa más de una década desde que una nueva especie se encuentra en el campo hasta que se nombra, una demora que puede poner en peligro su conservación www.revistaquercus.es/noticia/9287...
¿Cómo es posible que, a pesar de la situación crítica en la que se encuentra, la anguila no esté protegida en España?
Porque @miteco.gob.es no está haciendo su trabajo
@ec.europa.eu tampoco lo está haciendo, pero desarrollo en el hilo cómo (parece) que está el tema en España
(1/9)
Simplemente es desmoralizante ver la precariedad a la que sometemos al personal predoctoral en este país.
¿POR QUÉ CUESTA TANTO CORREGIR LAS COSAS QUE ESTÁN MAL?

An A4 flyer for the project "Little Fishes, Big Problems: Using Genomics to Inform Conservation and Management of Pygmy Perches". Text reads "This exciting PhD project will generate and apply cutting edge genomic datasets (whole genomes and genotype-by-sequencing) to inform conservation and management of two freshwater fish species endemic to Western Australia. The highly collaborative research program is will directly contribute to conservation actions and water management in the region. The ideal candidate will have experience with applying molecular techniques to answer ecological, conservation or evolutionary research questions, including DNA extraction bioinformatic pipelines and genomic analysis (not essential). To apply for the project, please submit your academic CV and one page cover letter describing your research interests and relevant experience to Dr. Buckley." It includes a photo of a male western pygmy perch in breeding colours, a QR code, and several logos.
Looking for a #PhD project (or know someone who is)? I'm currently recruiting for a student to work on #conservation and #PopulationGenomics of two freshwater #fish using whole genome and ddRAD data: more info in the flyer below! #PopGen #ConsGen #Biodiversity 🐟🧪🧬
🎯¿Cómo ha sido este último año político?
Los partidos suelen tener un discurso, con sus alianzas y estategias, pero..
¿y si nos fijamos en algo empírico, demostrable, sobre cómo y con quién han votado en el Congreso este último año para ver parentescos reales entre las diferentes formaciones?🧶
