Excited to share our new article 🐸 in @peerj.bsky.social (10.7717/peerj.19895), based on my internship at @ibe-barcelona.bsky.social during undergrad. As a #frog enthusiast, studying their hybridogenetic systems was mind-blowing! Huge thanks to Carranza lab for the guidance and support 🙌

We shared research on bird seed dispersal, mosquito pop genomics, and Iberian lynx phylogenomics & conservation genetics.

Thank you for a wonderful congress filled with new connections and inspiring discussions.

Un altre cop amb l'ai al cor perquè algú força inconscient ha decidit que, perquè facin negoci uns quants, ens deixarem perdre el nostre #patrimoni #natural. Quina poca humilitat davant la natura i, més encara, en aquest context actual d'emergència climàtica. Poca consciència i gens de vergonya!

Thanks @phoebeweston.bsky.social for covering the topic of state border #barriers & their effects on #wildlife including in #BiałowieżaForest #UNESCO World Heritage site where we assessed such impacts. Restoring #connectivity in #transboundary areas is needed www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The missing lynx: how the rise of border walls has split up wildlife populations

In an age of growing hostility to migrants, there are 10 times more barriers on borders than when the Berlin Wall fell. But as well as the human cost, animals are unintended victims

Que ante los mesías que predican tras la lluvia la salvación del Parque Nacional de Doñana, se hace necesario desenmascarar las verdades incómodas que nadie quiere mencionar.

In 2002, fewer than 100 individuals remained, divided into two genetically distinct populations that had diverged around 200 years ago. To maximize genetic diversity, the captive breeding program was designed to mix individuals from both groups.

Congratulations to @robynshaw.bsky.social, @cegrueber.bsky.social, and too many other friends to list here on this important paper in @nature.com on the global extent of genetic diversity loss. It was a pleasure discussing it w/ Elizabeth Pennisi from @science.org.

Wide range of Earth’s species are showing a decline in diversity

The loss of genetic variation means species may be less resilient to climate change and other stressors
