From Permits to Samples: Addressing Key Challenges for High‐Quality Reference Genome Generation in Europe
High-quality reference genome assemblies have become essential for deepening our understanding of biodiversity, yet obtaining them for many species remains surprisingly challenging. Drawing on experi...

Pähkinäpensas kukkii Lounais-Suomessa ja Uudellamaalla, ja leppä maan länsiosien lämpimillä alueilla. Lepän kukinnan odotetaan alkavan tällä viikolla myös laajemmin maan etelä- ja keskiosissa. Pian ilmassa voi olla myös koivun siitepölyä, sillä koivun kukinta alkaa Keski-Euroopassa lähiaikoina.

Studies of domestic pigeons have taught us lots about cognition, navigation, and genetics. If you’d like to learn why their wild cousins are also worthy of scientific attention, I’ve written a Rock Dove @currentbiology.bsky.social ‘quick guide’: doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2025.01.065

Whaaaa!??? Epigenetics keeps surprising!
Scared to share this after 10 freaking years of waiting, but here we go: We found that temperature *perception* can change the biology of the next generations, even when “it’s just in the parents' head”. Read how C. elegans neurons control epigenetic inheritance!

Today was a seminar day for all the Biomon-projects. Really interesting projects, different methods, lots of ideas for monitoring. Our DEADMON-project is also coming to an end, sort of. Data analysis will continue and also a deadwood monitoring handbook will also be published next year. 🪵

Entistä harvempi ruokkii lintuja – ruokintapaikkojen määrä vähentynyt
Suurimmat syyt ruokinnan vähenemiseen ovat havainnot rotista ja taloyhtiöiden tiukentuneet säännöt.
