"Effective population size" (Ne) can be used as an indicator of change in genetic diversity. For species with limited genetic data we need a proxy, e.g. census population size (Nc). Here are new recommendations: when to use Ne vs Nc. #ConservationGenetics doi.org/10.1007/s10592…

Out today in PNASNews! Our paper on the rapid collapse of extinct Australian rodents since European colonisation + resurrection of extinct Gould’s mouse pnas.org/content/118/27… Big news for #ozrodents! Anna MacDonald @bertieportela Kevin C Rowe Oz Mammals Genomics @BioPlatformsAus A thread /1

Amazing effort underpinning the brand new publication led by Dr Emily Roycroft and supported through our Oz Mammals Genomics initiative. This project investigated the rapid decline and extinction of Australian rodents, links to the publication available in Emily's thread

Ok, when was the last time ABC News had two lead stories about the conservation of native Australian rodents, on the same day?! I'll say never, and hence that this is a great day!

It’s a great day. Our second southern brown bandicoot in our long term research sites this year, and it’s a mum!! We have not had a SBB on any of our sites since 2013, so this second one is great news indeed. Hope you day is as good as our field team is having.

The southern marsupial mole now has a reference genome! Great work for the team
