Can genomics help? YES. Even one genome from one individual per species provides prelim assessment of extinction risk. Important role for genomics in biodiversity conservation San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance #Zoonomia Aryn Wilder Beth Shapiro Oliver Ryder science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We had an amazing week talking with Elders and community members of the Cree Nation of Mistissini. Thankful for the knowledge that was shared, the stories, the laughters, and the delicious food. Dylan Fraser Sozos Michaelides Bad C. @BernosThais, Nicole Yu, Julie Gibelli

New preprint: A global assessment of effective population sizes highlights consistent taxonomic differences in meeting the 50/500 rule, and reduced Ne in many areas with greater human footprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Led by Shannon + super team Concordia University Dalhousie University

The field of molecular ecology + Canadian science have lost a giant today. Louis Bernatchez inspired many and was a tireless supporter of 100s of young researchers over 4 decades of his highly distinguished career. Thanks for being such a great academic dad to many of us Louis

Are u at #adaptfutures2023? Co-developing knowledge with #Indigenous communities for #fisheries #resilience: we are honoured to be sharing some of the FISHES team's interdisciplinary insights today (session in room 518A, 14h00-15h30).

In close collaboration with members of the Cree Nation of Mistissini, our team (Hyung-Bae, Dylan Fraser) has done tons of work about Lake Trout genomics in Mistassini Lake over the years. @BernosThais summarized it in a comic...

Salmon, trout + char aficionados! At 1/100th the size of a typical #anadromous salmon, here are perhaps the world's smallest mature female #Atlanticsalmon (9-11cm, 10-20g, 15-30 eggs). They eke out a living in low order streams of #CapeRace, #Newfoundland (no access to sea)

Species responses to #climatechange in #freshwater envts can be consistent in direction but vary substantially in magnitude even at #microgeographic scales due to the influence of #groundwater Congrats to Brian Gallagher for finishing this important + supercool study! #brooktrout

Curious to know what effective population sizes looks like across the globe? Look no further! Out now in Molecular Ecology, our team assessed effective size of wild populations, comparing between taxonomic groups and in relation to the 50/500 rule. bit.ly/3TYrhEa

Great lab meeting today discussing journal article on effective size. Message. Many populations are too small to maintain genetic diversity so management action is needed. Especially plants and amphibians onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me… Dylan Fraser great work!!

Our lab has a #molecular lab assistant position available for the next several months that we are looking to fill asap. Flexible hours, part- or full-time. Come join a great team and work on some super cool #fish #genomics projects! FISHES Concordia University
