We’re lucky to have Prof. Ziheng Yang @zihengyang.bsky.social —one of the leading figures in phylogenomics—deliver 2 lectures on the Multispecies Coalescent Model. Tomorrow, he’ll dive into Models of Gene Flow (introgression & migration).

Emergence of invasive weedy rice in Southeast Asia. A review - Agronomy for Sustainable Development Weedy rice has recently emerged as a serious problem in Southeast Asia, despite the region’s long history of rice culture. Major economic losses have resulted from reduced yield, grain quality deterio...

The research highlights the need to protect “stepping stone” habitats, such as the Dzungarian Alatau, Tarbagatai & Saur ranges, & to strengthen collaboration among Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia, and Russia to maintain #geneflow across the #snowleopard’s range.

Migratory Hoverflies Transport Pollen Across European Seas

Migratory marmalade hoverflies were found on a North Sea oil rig, with 92% carrying pollen from up to 14 plant species, and can travel over 500 km aided by wind currents. Read more: getnews.me/migratory-hoverflies-tra... #hoverflies #pollination #geneflow

Inference of Gene Flow between Species from Genomic Data When the Mode, Direction, and Lineages are Misspecified Abstract. Thanks to genomic data, interspecific gene flow is increasingly recognized as a major evolutionary force that shapes biodiversity. Two models hav

Using simulations and empirical data, Thawornwattana, Flouri, @wtf-r-species.bsky.social & @zihengyang.bsky.social ‬ et al. evaluate the performance of the MSC-M model for inferring gene flow.

Even bits of old DNA around us can make it through.

Species are "porous" and we know this is capable of altering the course of their evolution.

AI nano/biotechnology? FFS!
GE was worrying enough.
