Conservation Challenges Under Taxonomic Uncertainty: Introgression Patterns and Environmental Correlates in Mediterranean Brown Trout The Mediterranean brown trout (Salmo trutta species complex) comprises genetically and ecologically distinct lineages primarily distributed across the Western Mediterranean region. Conservation of th....

Back to Cardiff, after serving as external #PhD examiner. Congrats to Stefano Porrelli from #QMUL for passing his viva with minor corrections. Fascinating work on #introgression and incomplete lineage sorting in Ruminants.
Congrats also to supervisors @anneropiquet.bsky.social, Alexandre Hassanin

Mapping the gene regulatory landscape of archaic hominin introgression in modern Papuans Interbreeding between anatomically modern humans and archaic hominins has contributed to the genomes of present-day human populations. However, our understanding of the specific gene regulatory conseq...

Very interesting Massive Parallel Reporter Assay study by @ee-reh-neh.bsky.social and colleagues, refining our understanding of the impact of Neanderthal & Denisovan #introgression in modern Papuans (special focus on immune cell types) 🧪🧬

A dated phylogeny of mitogenomes from African buffalo and several outgroup species.

This is because the number of differences in the divergent mitogenome and other extant buffalo is huge & we date the divergence to approx. 2.5 million years ago. Both indicating it potentially came from interbreeding with another species. #phylogenetics #introgression

Genetic monitoring suggests ongoing genetic change in wild salmon populations due to hybridization with aquaculture escapees - Conservation Genetics Substantial domestication associated divergence of farmed from wild Atlantic salmon has raised concerns regarding the negative impacts of farm escapees on the genetic integrity and adaptability of wil...

Important new paper on spatial & temporal variability of #introgression of farmed fish into wild Canadian #Atlantic #salmon rivers: "larger rivers with higher numbers of wild salmon consistently had lower proportions of hybrids than several of the smaller rivers" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

#Hello to you all, I'm #new here on bluesky. I'm a researcher interested in #population #genomics #conservation #adaptation #introgression . I mainly work in insect systems #entomology . I'm based in #scotland

Attending my first SMBE meeting.
Giving a poster on #introgression in American #blackbears at the Monday poster session.
Really looking forward to meeting people #SMBE2024

Introgression Underlies Phylogenetic Uncertainty But Not Parallel Plumage Evolution in a Recent Songbird Radiation Abstract. Instances of parallel phenotypic evolution offer great opportunities to understand the evolutionary processes underlying phenotypic changes. Howe

Check this recent paper (Rancilhac et al.) doi.org/10.1093/sysb.... The most common gene tree in the “black-and-white” wagtails might be the result of introgression!
