@RodgerYael and colleagues have found that the benefits of outcrossing on genetic rescue may depend on species’ life history, notably mating systems. Monitoring the mating system is vital to inform adaptive management of translocated populations. https://t.co/EZlXdQCu2y

Such a fantastic resource for managers on how to incorporate genetics in conservation! So pleased to have been a part of this initiative.

Launching the new @ThreatenedSpGen website with friendly content developed by many Australian collaborators to help conservation managers use genetics & genomics for management actions & decisions! https://t.co/kPDhPFZNvx @BioplatformsAus @AusBiocommons @Sydney_Science

Our work has implications for the restoration of other mixed mating species and highlights the need to consider mating system effects in conservation management.

📢A fantastic collaboration with researchers from the DBCA in WA has led to our recent publication in Restoration Ecology investigating the effects of a mixed mating system on outcomes of genetic rescue in an endangered Banksia species 🌿: https://t.co/cLpO15DaQK

We found high levels of selfing in the translocated population was preventing gene flow between different source populations. Selfed plants also had lower fitness than outcrossed plants. This requires further invention to encourage outcrossing through greater pollinator services.

Hey twitter folks, a petition has been started that's being put forward to the House of Representatives to increase the Australian PhD stipend from ~$29k a year to $39k a year to match the minimum wage. Please sign and share the link below!
