Genome Size Reduction Under Non-Adaptive Evolution: How Evolution Halved Genome Size During an Oceanic Island Radiation. Today talk by Sara Guirao-Rico in @eseb2025.bsky.social congress, and accepted ms. in MBE academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-...
Great talk of @jrozasub.bsky.social about genomic basis of convergent dietary specialization in Dysdera species 🕷️, last week at the #SEG2025. With @biophotoist.bsky.social, @irbio-ub.bsky.social, @geneticsub.bsky.social, @ub.edu, @ull.es, @biogeneurope.bsky.social, @ergabiodiv.bsky.social
How did evolution drive massive genome contraction during oceanic island colonization? A new paper from our lab.

Presenting our BGE’s spider Dysdera curvisetae case study to the community of researchers at the bi-annual meeting XXIV SGPE @segenetica.bsky.social. Talk given by @jrozasub.bsky.social from @ub.edu.
Viernes 17 de Enero. Último día en el parador de #Mazagon, nos despedimos de este #SGPE2025 hablando de #drosophila #arabidopsis #truchas y mucho más . Un seminario que sin duda deja huella. Un placer para #SEG seguir apoyando estás reuniones de grupos tan necesarias para nuestra sociedad.
PhD thesis on the Balearic shearwater submited! Cristian Cuevas will soon be our new doctor in the lab.
¿Nos vemos en Mazagón del 15 al 17 de enero? El XXIV Seminario Genética de Poblaciones y Evolución te espera.
🗓️ Recuerda que tienes hasta el 30 de noviembre para hacer la inscripción a precio reducido y enviar tu abstract.

This is the last chapter of Paula Escuer @pescuer.bsky.social PhD, published in Molecular Ecology, about Dysdera silvatica, an endemic spider from the Canary Islands. Another step to understand the genomics underlying adaptive radiations in island ecosystems. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
hat are the dynamics of #hybridisation between the Critically Endangered Balearic shearwater and the closely related Yelkouan shearwater? Check out our new preprint out on
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
where we investigate the causes/consequences of pervasive gene flow between these species.
