Nice thread from @certhionyx on our new paper: #GeneticDiversity, population structure, and #ConservationGenetics to inform management of northern quolls 🧬@OMGenomes

[Hernán Morales @HernMoral]

The current #environment crisis threatens the long-term viability of species. In this perspective, we propose to combine genomic analyses with modelling to improve extinction risk and recovery assessments. See below. #ClimateCrisis #Genomics #conservation https://t.co/3lPliTLHMN

An incredible scientific effort to understand genetic diversity losses in the #Anthropocene. Well timed for the @UNBiodiversity negotiations this fall and winter. Message: We are losing vital genetic diversity and resilience and must act! @gbike_cost @SCBConGen @GEOBON_org

[Alida de Flamingh, Ph.D. @adeflamingh]

Re-sharing this preprint via BioRxiv - if you use non-invasive samples and/or do #conservationgenetics #ConGen then this might be of interest!

[Sean Hoban @seanmhoban]

Report- first assessment of the feasibility of genetic diversity indicators, across thousands of species. Open access- free to all! @UNBiodiversity @GEOBON_org @fieldgenomics @gbike_cost @SCBConGen @MikeBruford Now we need to do it in more detail & in less wealthy countries.

[Wellcome Connecting Science Learning and Training @eventsWCS]

Do you have #conservation research related to #genomics to share?

Submit your abstract to #ConsGenPop22 to demonstrate insights on the challenges and applications of population-level conservation genomics. #biodiversity #eDNA

⏳ Deadline: 13 Sept!

Please help add to this historic exploration of the roots of the field of conservation genetics! @congenetics @SCBConGen @gbike_cost @ConGRESS_EU

[Robyn Shaw @RobsShaw]

We are interested in groups ranging from those with conservation genetics as their core focus to more broadly focused groups with conservation geneticists on staff @mhmeek @CinnamonMittan @congenetics @gbike_cost @SCBConGen @GEOBON_org

[Robyn Shaw @RobsShaw]

I’m collaborating on a project to identify all the organisations and professional societies in the world that are incorporating #genetics in species management and #conservation. What are groups you know about (global, regional, and local)? #ConservationGenetics

[European Conservation Genetics Meeting @consgen22]

📢Registration for #ConsGen22 will open on the 22nd April and will close on the 30th June.

📅Abstract submission will close on the 31st May.

➡️Head to https://t.co/36kkByPvwy for more info on the meeting.
