🦜✨ What can unraveling songbird genomes tell us about human speech and vocal learning in other species?
Erich Jarvis, visionary and head of the Vertebrate Genomes Project, explains how genome comparisons reveal insights about vocal learners. 🗣️✨

🇨🇦🐦 What can we learn from sequencing Canadian birds? Studying the genomes of diverse vocal-learning birds can reveal insights into the evolution of speech and vocal learning—not only in birds, but also in other vocal learners such as humans, dolphins, whales, and bats. 🐋🦇🧬🦜👩🔬

Real conservation action, guided by genomes!
@ergabiodiv.bsky.social @biogeneurope.bsky.social
Why go beyond the reference genome?
Because population genomics reveals hidden risks — low diversity, genetic drift, and declining gene flow. 🌍
Wetlands are disappearing… and so is genetic diversity.
