First paper from my PhD (pseudogenization in cheetah) just got accepted in Evolution!!

As if that wasn’t cool enough, I got the email whilst staying at the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia learning about conservation genetics and watching cheetahs!

Marco Granata presents excellent work from the Italian Alps, shedding light on under studied small mustelids, with aims to start long term monitoring #35EMC

When you find otter spraint: how many mustelid biologists can you fit on a rock...

[MustelidColloquium @MustelidColloq]

@beeshaw_ unravels the story of British European polecats, using samples collected by @vincentwildlife in the previous @PolecatSurvey #35EMC

My first paper is out. Livestock guarding dogs have been used to protect livestock for millennia, though little was known about them.
