First page of Mangolt's book from 1557

Just finished reading Gregor Mangolt's 1557 book "On the Nature and Traits of Fish — Especially Those Caught in Lake Constance". Fascinating early account including details on #parasites, #spawning #phenology #hybridisation, and spatial variability. #HistoryOfScience #LakeConstance

Nest #survival models and #genomics illuminate #hybridisation attempts, guiding culturally informed management to recover a Critically Endangered seabird - #OpenAccess zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #seabirds #ConservationGenomics #NewZealand @wileyecology.bsky.social

Analysis of self-pollination and interspecific hybridisation affinity of Rhododendron and parental selection Rhododendron simsii Planch. are one of the top ten traditional famous flowers in China, with high ornamental value. In order to explore the affinity of different combinations and screen out high-qu...

Success of #hybridisation attempts was low but non-zero, and overall hybrid nest survival was considerably ⬇️ compared with KWH nests. Hybridisation appears to result in outbreeding depression, with hybrid chicks exhibiting developmental complications. 4/9

Proud to have presented two poster presentations at #ESEB Congress in #Barcelona about our work on the hybridising and rapidly evolving spined loaches (Cobitis)🐟🧬

Using comparative species pair analysis of morphology, colour, and vocalisation to predict likehood of avian #hybridisation - very interesting analysis from @dannesbit.bsky.social #ICCB2025

🚀 New study by Micocci et al. explores the #Hybridisation of Alpine #PumpedStorage #Hydropower with #FloatingSolar #PV!

A collaboration between @unibo.bsky.social & @wslresearch.bsky.social / @hydrologywsl.bsky.social — aligned with the #SPEED2ZERO initiative.

Frequent Hybridisation Between Parapatric Lekking Bird‐of‐Paradise Species Hybridisation is known to occur between a wide range of taxa, including species for which strong sexual selection has led to markedly different sexual phenotypes and lek-mating behaviours. To what ex...

More good news this month! 🎉
I'm excited to share my PhD colleague Filip Thörn's fantastic study on hybridisation in lek-mating Birds-of-Paradise, which I had the privilege to be part of. 🐦

Deer Dynamics in Europe: Native and Invasive Species - Rewilding Academy Not all deer species are native to Europe. In fact, several deer species have been introduced by humans—either deliberately or accidentally—over the centuries, raising questions about how these newcom...

In Europe, competition between native and #invasive #deer species, as well as #hybridisation between red deer and sika deer, can disrupt ecosystems and wipe out native populations. Managing invasives is crucial for protecting biodiversity.

We are hiring! Two #PhD positions, 1 on interspecific #hybridisation to introduce insect resistance into #Brassica, and 1 on population-based selection for adaptation to low-input agriculture. Email me for more information and/or send CV and grades transcripts before the end of March :)

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

where we investigate the causes/consequences of pervasive gene flow between these species.

This is from X. What are the dynamics of #hybridisation between the Critically Endangered Balearic shearwater and the closely related Yelkouan shearwater? Check out our new preprint out on @biorxivpreprint where we investigate the causes/consequences of pervasive gene flow between these species.

A huge lab effort! Using reproducible criteria we found that 68% of #coral studies had cryptic taxa and that (when tested) these species have permeable species boundaries (i.e.,
#hybridisation). We describe the implications of cryptic taxa and hybridisation for #conservation #restoration in detail!
