Another #consgen paper highlighting that ex-situ breeding, especially in species with high fecundity (fishes!) is no silver bullet for conservation, due to rapid evolution of domestication, even with careful genetic management.

An eDNA researcher and a conservation geneticist die and go to heaven. Saint-Peter opens and says: “There’s only one place left. Convince me you should be allowed in”. The conservation geneticist shouts: “Just send me straight to Hell! I couldn’t bear to listen again to how amazing eDNA is”

Genomic estimates of inbreeding with runs of homozygosity often outperform pedigree-based F, even from long-term datasets. They integrate occasional gene flow and are less sensitive to underlying pedigree assumptions.
Congrats @marcofesta.bsky.social and co!

Stephanie Kamel, professor in the Department of Biology and Marine Biology at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, and I'm the genomics lead on this project.
So, in some meadows challenged by higher temperatures, a small number of plants have been mutating or changing genomically.

Great write up of our study showing that both extrinsic factors (e.g. habitat availability) and intrinsic traits (e.g. body mass and diet) play important roles in shaping patterns of genomic diversity in birds 🦜 🧬 🌏

Effective population size is a key ingredient in indicators used to monitor genetic #biodiversity – and a fundamental concept in population genetics.
But what is it, really? 🧬 We try to explain in our new blog post ⬇️

Finally published! We first uploaded this preprint in 2022 but dropped it after frustrating reviews.
It was well received and cited, motivating us to revisit it.
We added new content, including simulations and a proof-of-concept genomic green status assessment.
