GWAS for Nobel prize laureates.

How long does your target #eDNA persist in #waterholes in the #savanna? Turns out eDNA #degradation depends on whether you 1.) sample water or sediments 2.) target extracellular or intracellular DNA. Find out more here: doi.org/10.1002/edn3.7…

Come work with me at #westernu! The successful candidate will take over the core lab course that I am currently teaching and add some pedagogical research. The course has an amazing teaching partner and great support from technicians. uwo.ca/facultyrelatio…

So cool!

My PhD work is out! Frogs and toads have extremely conserved chromosomal evolution and gene orders over 200 million years of evolution. XY system and a new sex-linked region was also identified for western chorus frog! Stay tuned for my presentation at #BG24 this Thursday😄

Super happy to have my model published! Here, we show how biodiversity loss contributes to the increase of disease outbreaks, by the creation of an epidemiological model that can include biodiversity data. Thank you to my co-authors and everyone at UBC! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Most research is incremental and we should all be proud to help build a foundation of evidence towards change. Don’t let anyone tell you different!

We are hiring two tenure-track assistant professors at the Institute of #ecology and #evolution at Universität Bern in conservation biology and mathematical and computational ecology tinyurl.com/IEEjobs l

Associate Editor is having a hard time finding reviewers for one of the papers we submitted. Anyone interested in diet / stomach contents of Arctic char and sculpin? If you are interested and don't mind me sharing contact info that I can pass onto the AE, send me a DM.

Despite the shape that the world is taking, I'm so excited and proud to see this work published and these voices amplified. Please read and share! SCB Conservation Biology conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

For women in academia, barriers to having children aren't just finding partners or preserving fertility. It's systemic barriers—relentless relocations, temporary contracts, focus on individual achievement—planning for a family is like an impossible luxury.science.org/content/articl…

New preprint alert: we present a new PASSIVE air #eDNA sampler that outperforms two commonly used active samplers. Our passive approach detected species up to 500+meters away and showed association with species biomass biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 3D printable for a few €!!!!

🧬 Calling all #eDNA and #EnvironmentalOmics enthusiasts! At the AquaEcOmics meeting, 35 international experts discussed forming a European Society for Environmental Omics (ESEO) to strengthen collaboration across the field. 🧵(1/4)

🎇New paper alert GENETIC POLLUTION-caused by human-driven hybridization-is more widespread and dangerous than you think. With modern DNA tools, we can act BUT policy must catch up fast! Read more: link.springer.com/article/10.100… #conservation #biodiversity #biosecurity
