Really enjoying the week with @Physacourses on Pop genomic inference from low coverage whole genome sequencing. Many thanks to the @MarineInst for funding my attendance! 🦈🐟

[Physalia-courses@ONLINE @Physacourses]

🚀 Kicking off the "Population Genomic Inference from Low-Coverage Whole Genome Sequencing" course! 🎉 With an incredible team of instructors: @ntherk, @tpLinderoth, @NicolasLou10, @fishyomics, and a group of attendees exploring a wide range of diverse systems. 🧬🌍

Big news for marine conservation in Ireland!

🦈🦈Two critically endangered angel shark have been successfully tagged for the first time in Irish waters at Tralee Bay. This milestone will help scientists better understand and protect these rare creatures.

And we're really grateful to our organising committee for hosting AIMS2024 in @ATU_GalwayCity. No Event managers, no conference companies, just a group of people on the ground running around and annoying people to get things done!

@David_Smyth_eco from @MfrcATU discusses the habitat preferences of lesser horseshoe bats 🦇

'Lesser horseshoe bats like woodland- we're probably not going to get into Nature'

You can squint/enlarge but here is the exciting line-up for 2 days of talks for the 5th All-Ireland Mammal Symposium! From terrestrial to marine, and from the deep past to contemporary issues in mammal conservation! Looking forward to seeing you all on Oct 4th in @ATU_GalwayCity

[All-Ireland Mammal Symposium 2024 @IreMammal2024]

Early Reg deadline for the All-Ireland Mammal Symposium in @ATU_GalwayCity is fast approaching - Aug 31st! Register for €75, and only €50 for students. With over 100 attendees already registered, don't miss out on 2 full days of mammal talks! https://t.co/ieM4lrkedk

[Eoghan Daltun 🌍 @IrishRainforest]

The latest @NativeWoodTrust magazine is, as usual, jam packed with exciting reports + news.

This leapt out at me: **93%** of trail camera images in Wicklow were of sika deer or hybrids. Yet this highly invasive species is STILL legally protected 🤦‍♂️

[Rachel Coleman Horgan @Rachel_C_H]
