@mcodlin.bsky.social 's bird protein variability paper is out! 🙌🦆🦆

Maria C. Codlin@mcodlin.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Excited to share our new study in @natcomms.nature.com. It reveals surprising protein variability in birds 🐦, reshaping how we use ancient proteins to reconstruct the past. Curious about the implications? Read the paper here: rdcu.be/eJi3h. With @beademarch.bsky.social

We are seeking an ornithologist/modeller for a 2-year POST-DOC in Turin. Using archaeological remains, we will reconstruct past avian communities to understand the impacts of climate change and human pressure on birds through time. For details see cutt.ly/irN76QDZ PLEASE RT. #ornithology #AviArch

We're recruiting an avian ecologist working with @danc-eco.bsky.social and our AviArch team! More info: archaeobiomics.com/aviarch-avif...

We are pleased to announce that the early bird registration deadline has been extended to May 7th! www.isba11.com/registration/ #archaeology #biomoleculararchaeology #ISBA11 #archaeologists @archaeobiomics.bsky.social @isbarchaeology.bsky.social

The announcement you have all been waiting for... Save the date for BOGS 2025! The 35th meeting of the British Organic Geochemical Society will be held in Bristol on the 1st and 2nd of July 2025. www.bogs2025.com #BOGS2025

Our scientific committee is busy evaluating your abstracts. In the mean time, registration for ISBA11 is now open! For the special early bird discount, make sure to register by April 30, 2025! www.isba11.com/registration @isbarchaeology.bsky.social @archaeobiomics.bsky.social

Next week @archaeobiomics.bsky.social is hosting the kick-off workshop of #ERC project #Aviarch! 30 participants from Greece, France, Denmark, UK, USA and Italy will be discussing new methods to reveal human avian interactions in the past - the foundation for building archaeoecological networks!

AviCulture was featured in UniTo's public science blog. Check it out in Italian or English (link at bottom of page). Just please ignore the AI image which I swear had no part in!😅 frida.unito.it/dieta-sosten... @archaeobiomics.bsky.social @beademarch.bsky.social

At Teotihuacan, a major Mesoamerican city, we’ll be using our new database of avian proteins (doi.org/10.21203/rs....) to identify fragmented bones and eggshells and reconstruct the role of wild and domesticated birds in the subsistence strategies of the city’s residents. #paleoproteomics #MSCA

A couple of Ansers on the age-old question of "taxonomic resolution" in palaeoproteomics: new preprint by our group shows that we need much better reference data and more than a pinch of caution when attempting phylogenetic reconstructions www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...

Matthew Collins@matthewcollins.bsky.social · last yr.

An important new paper by @beademarch.bsky.social and her team challenges how we use ancient proteins to study the past. Analysis of 1,832 sequences from waterfowl (ducks & geese) reveals why palaeoproteomics isn't the simple solution we hoped for... 👇🧵 1/4 www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...
