Thanks for all the #ICCBcongen people I met! See you all at the winter Con Gen meeting in Germany! @ConGRESS_EU #ICCB2015 @gsegelbacher

.@ekbors: key role of ocean currents in post invasion gene dispersal in #lionfish, revealed by genetic data #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

.@JaguarCK9 tells us about using #HexSim for modeling individuals in realistic landscapes, adaptation- amazing, accessible tool! #ICCBcongen

Marta de Barba: can now do large sample, high automation microsatellite genotyping + sequencing- huge step forward in #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

#ICCBcongen tweeps, for those w/o lunch plans, I'm at main conf doors! @HelenTaylorCG @LaureleneF @LauraDBertola @drbarnes @Periperipatus

Conservation Genetics Networking Dinner with > a dozen new colleagues- a smashing success!! #ICCBcongen @ICCB_ECCB

.@Periperipatus looks at complexes bottleneck in Australian finch- should they really have been downgraded in status? #ICCB2015 #ICCBcongen

.@jaimedash shows to slow investment when population is still in "crash" phase. Counterintuitive & thought provoking #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

Thanks @jaimedash for including economics AND evolution in conservation! Optimizing when to implement genetic rescue! #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

Remarkable heritable variation in plant form in Brodiaea, in presence/ absence of deer- evolutionary conservation! #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

If any #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015 folks want to get lunch, I'll be at main revolving doors on floor 1 at noon!

Question re: inter-species hybrids... would they be able to adapt better to changing environments? Or not? #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

Anri van Wyk: How stringent do we want to be? How many natives do we remove to get rid of hybrids? #ICCB2015 #ICCBcongen

Should we/ should we not intervene to boost adaptive diversity in disease challenged populations? #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

Excited for tonight >35 papers in conservation genetic themed poster session! Plants, animals, landscapes, adaptation #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

Chile, Mexico, & Nicaragua, have marine and forest cons GENETIC reserves- what other countries have this? #ICCB2015 #ICCBcongen

Con Gen Researcher Meetup! All gather tonight at 7 at main conf doors for group(s) dinner. Good networking opportunity #ICCB2015 #ICCBcongen

Gili Greenbaum fundamental questioning of one migrant per generation rule, by rethinking con gen goal #ICCBconGen #ICCB2015

If small populations have specialized adaptation, is loss of genetic diversity a threat, or just reflecting this process #ICCBcongen

Thanks @mhmeek for making genomics accessible and affordable by developing tools managers use, in California salmon #ICCB2015 #ICCBcongen

Maureen McCarthy used genetics to find high population abundance of chimpanzees in fragmented forests in Uganda #ICCB2015 #ICCBcongen

Steiner: Using genomics to identify carriers of recessive disease in breeding program of California condors #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

A multitude of factors to consider in conservation of caribou- wolves, oil/gas, hybrids- use genetics to delimit populations #ICCBcongen

Overflowing room for main Con Gen Session 1, a very high-interest topic! #ICCB2015 #ICCBcongen

.@gsegelbacher shows that sometimes more alleles at adaptive loci can lead to lower fitness, and explains why #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

.@gsegelbacher explains to use adaptive variation for better con gen interpretation and mgmt #ICCBcongen

.@HelenTaylorCG Poor next generation recruitment in kiwi due to inbreeding- population growing due to founders but can't sustain #ICCBcongen

.@HelenTaylorCG Bottlenecks in kiwi affect hatching success and number of eggs #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

.@HelenTaylorCG speaking on translocations of kiwi, all living birds descended from 5 individuals! #kiwigenetics #ICCBcongen #ICCB2015

Shirli Bar-David used simulations to determine how many males (10-20%) contributed offspring to Israel wild ass populations #ICCBcongen
