#paperalert #fishes Two closely related minnow ( #Phoxinus ) species share the same rivers — and sometimes even hybridise. But new research shows they've evolved completely different ways of determining sex. 🐟🧬 Lead author PhD student @thetemi.bsky.social @leibnizlib.bsky.social
Rather than a story of recent invasions, Phoxinus in the Sieg is a case of cryptic nativeness—highlighting the importance of historical context and genetic tools in biodiversity assessments.

#paperalert My group is currently working on Eurasian minnows #Phoxinus. To make comparative genomics & popgen in this highly cryptic genus easier, we published an annotated chromosome-level reference genome. Thanks to @thetemi.bsky.social, Yanis, @astridboehne.bsky.social

Did you know that the haplotypes of a genome can be very different? You can find out this & more in the first preprint from my group, providing an annotated ref genome for Eurasian minnow, led by PhD students
