I'm so very excited to share that @JosephGuhlin et al is now hot off the press! 📰🔥
If you want to learn more about how genomics is actively being used to inform kākāpō conservation, check it out!

The tara iti/New Zealand fairy tern – our most endangered bird with fewer than 40 remaining – has celebrated a record-breaking summer breeding season, thanks to favourable weather conditions and advancements in management practices.

Exceptionally excited to be involved in several projects from this round! With @Cawthron_NZ we'll be looking at breeding climate resilient finfish, and tracking shellfish response to disease after pseudovaccination. With @LincolnAgritech we will examine kākahi 1/2
@sgalla32 I only chose a photo because you have the 1 slide, and the painting is abstract. Trying to figure out the ATCGs could possibly distract from your point. I love the painting!!!!
@HeredityJournal@GenSocUK@UW_SAFS I'm going to out myself... I just found out that this podcast exists...🙈
But! Just in case I'm not the only one, here's a great discussion on the ever so mysterious properties of Ne. ✨️
Julie Blommaert talking about the need to have long-read data to discover a more complete catalogue of structural variants in the tamure/snapper genome 🧬 #qrw2023@pygmyperch
Genome graphs are still hard, especially non-model species. But this paper by Thorburn et al. offers one solution to fight reference bias. 💥

#ESA2023 I'm recruiting grad students for my new lab
U Montana for fall 2024 - if you're interested in plant demography, adaptation, and range shifts, please get in touch
NEW IN @molecology!!!
Are you using SNPs🧬 of a bird or mammal population? You are probably forgetting a crucial filtering step! 😱

Research done with @SashaPavlova123 at @Monash_Science and @MonashBiol
An historic day for #kakapo#conservation today. We’re transferring four males to Maungatautari, a large fenced reserve in the North Island of NZ. For the first time in nearly 40 years kākāpō will back living on the mainland of Aotearoa. #returnofthekakapo @Maungatautari1
In their most recent study, Duntsch et al. investigate individual and temporal variation in #inbreeding and report #genome-wide and region-specific inbreeding depression signals for a species of #conservation concern, the #Aotearoa New Zealand #hihi

@NatForsdick and @Birds_py closing out #eResearchNZ2023 with a fantastic talk about good data management practices, particularly around data sovereignty, collaborations and ECRs 👏
@NatForsdick @mwlr_nz & Jana Wold @Birds_py@UCNZ Exploring a range of personas & scearios for developing data management tips & tricks to empower the biodiversity genomics community. Input welcomed - pop into their mural board to contribute! #eResearchNZ2023
