Come and join us at #ICCB25!

The Coalition for Conservation Genetics@coalitioncongen.bsky.social · last yr.

Are you attending #ICCB25? Join this free workshop on monitoring #GeneticDiversity 🧬using ecological and genetic data. 🗓 Sign up by June 3! Watch this video for how to register: www.loom.com/share/60478c... @iccb2025.bsky.social @robynshaw.bsky.social @cegrueber.bsky.social @annamac.bsky.social

And a note to all authors in #consgen and #evolution: REPORT your standard errors, variance or confidence intervals in the papers for every summary stat that you provide! In the meta-analyses we had to skip thousands of papers for this reason.

I love it when a plan comes together.

An analysis of published data reveals how genetic diversity has been changing in populations of 622 terrestrial and marine species and the effectiveness of different types of intervention to boost genetic diversity https://go.nature.com/3CwUUaN

We’ve also created a 2-page policy brief for anyone wanting to learn more about conserving #GeneticDiversity- available in 14 languages (and more to come)! Follow the link below ⬇️ url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/uWHeC71Zo8...

Thrilled to see our paper out in @nature.com! Huge thanks to @cegrueber.bsky.social @katefarquharson.bsky.social & the core team for a mammoth effort over 6yrs! Privileged to work with 57 scientists who spent many hours screening papers & more. Missing the late Mike Bruford-who helped inspire it all

It’s not all doom and gloom! We show in @nature.com that genetic diversity is in decline, but in @theconversation.com we dive into five strategies to help maintain or restore biodiversity @robynshaw.bsky.social @katefarquharson.bsky.social theconversation.com/gene-pools-a... 🧪🌍🦤🧬 #consgen #popgen

Gene pools are getting dangerously shallow for many species. We found 5 ways to help

Genetic diversity is being lost across many species – especially birds and mammals. But you can help stop the decline.

Congratulations to @robynshaw.bsky.social, @cegrueber.bsky.social, and too many other friends to list here on this important paper in @nature.com on the global extent of genetic diversity loss. It was a pleasure discussing it w/ Elizabeth Pennisi from @science.org. www.science.org/content/arti...

Wide range of Earth’s species are showing a decline in diversity

The loss of genetic variation means species may be less resilient to climate change and other stressors
