I spend a lot of time explaining why we should care about genetic diversity in conservation.This is a great thread explaining why conserving all genetic diversity is key to conserving species.

[Marty Kardos @martykardos]

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the role of genetic diversity in conservation (https://t.co/xNykYbPDmP) @_ellie_cat, @SarahFitz, @SamanthaSHauser, Phil Hedrick, @millerjm86, Dave Tallmon, and @fieldgenomics and I have a preprint on this:

A huge thank you to all the speakers who made the @BioSciChester Seminar Series 2020/21 so successful. What a fantastic array of research and interesting talks. I owe you all an in person pint! @Zen_of_Science @popgenchen @Raye_Francoeur @plantpollinator @ScrapNaturalist

[Jeanette Hall - ask me about woods 🌳 and newts 🦎 @JeanetteHall9]

Thanks to @AnnaPMuir for this weekend's challenge, successfully accomplished with @HighlandNewt and Colin Hall. We found a new site for white-faced darter, and collected samples for genetic analysis, as well as two new sites for northern emerald in a previously unrecorded area.

[Anna Muir @AnnaPMuir]

@JeanetteHall9 @HighlandNewt @BDSdragonflies I am feeling pretty jealous of this impressive field kit set up. I need to up my game. Excellent work, everyone!

Awesome to be out in Scotland in the sunshine for fieldwork at the start of the month, collecting White-faced darter larvae. My mini fieldwork assistants are now Sphagnum experts. Connectivity and management unit results to follow!

[Anna Muir @AnnaPMuir]

@HighlandNewt @JeanetteHall9 Excellent work! Do you love sphagnum moss as much as white-faced darters do yet?

[Jeanette Hall - ask me about woods 🌳 and newts 🦎 @JeanetteHall9]

Great afternoon out with @HighlandNewt looking for white-faced darter larvae for @AnnaPMuir. We found lots but were so focused on our work that I forgot to photograph any, so here's a newly emerged Northern emerald instead!

[Anna Muir @AnnaPMuir]

@JeanetteHall9 @HighlandNewt Woohoo! Excellent news!

[Anna Muir @AnnaPMuir]

WE'RE HIRING a Lecturer in Zoology with a focus on entomology @BioSciChester @ChesterConsBio. Any questions feel free to DM me. Short deadline - 7th June. Please RT!

@lizardburns I’d much rather be whale watching than repeatedly pressing refresh on a tracking page!

[Anna Muir @AnnaPMuir]

I’m looking forward to chatting amphibians tomorrow evening with @HerpSeminar!

[Herpetology Seminar Series @HerpSeminar]

We are very happy to announce that this weeks talk (Wed 5th May @ 18:00 BST) is being delivered by Anna Muir, titled "From mountaintops to sand dunes: Genetics as a tool to understand amphibian populations".

@HighlandNewt This mate was on Ben Lomond. I really need to get some GCN pics.
