The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, has passed away due to natural causes.

She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.

Very pleased to see this officially out - Genome Architecture and Speciation in Plants and Animals. With @siluwang.bsky.social, @dortizba.bsky.social and Loren Rieseberg. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Glad to share my work on phylogenetic inference for wee, tiny organisms (or highly diverse): the infered topologies seem largely unaffected by unaccounted recurrent mutations, but branch lengths, and mutation-selection usage biases, are significantly impacted.

Aurelien Tellier presenting the details of #eseb2027 which will be a hub meeting, with connected and local sessions in 4 hubs (Gothenburg, Munich, London, Istanbul) eseb2027.org #eseb2025

Really enjoyed presenting my poster on the adaptive radiation of New Caledonian persimmons at #ESEB2025. Great discussions on genomics, genome size variation, and the role of transposable elements.

🎉 Congratulations to our VDSEE PhD student Amin Ghane @amnghn.bsky.social on winning a 2-year ÖAW DOC Fellowship for “Unraveling The Role Of Structural Variation In Adaptive Radiation: Genomic Insights From New Caledonian Persimmons”! 🌿👏 #VDSEE #ÖAW #PhD @univie.ac.at
