Really excited to share our new @kelprescue paper on bull #kelp and giant #kelp population #genomics.
We identify the genetic structure of these two critical species and investigate the consequence of small population size for genetic health & restoration

The report, launched at the #COP16 Convention on Biological Diversity, is a world-first assessment of global kelp forests, which are found across a third of the world’s coastlines, and the findings highlight the need to accelerate kelp conservation.

Much of the world’s ecosystems are in various stages of decline and in urgent need of restoration. A team of Australian scientists led by Dr Georgina Wood have launched a new online tool called 'Reef Adapt'. Find out more 🔗 https://t.co/ZxHVeiRg76

Very important paper! Indeed, I have also noticed that Structure/Admixture plots are often overinterpreted as introgression.

🌊1/Seaweed forests worldwide are changing rapidly due to climate change. Western Australia’s forests are dramatic examples of this, but what about the biodiversity hotspot on the south coast? Our latest historical ecology research finds out... 🧵

[James Bullock @JMBecologist]

It is too simplistic to think that introducing single species (eg, beaver, bison, pine marten) can fundamentally repair degraded ecosystems

Even if we call them keystones

Rewilding is about rebuilding complexity, which includes complex trophic structures
