Our paper is out! 📣 we find that molecular measures of genetic variation do not predict heritable genetic variation across species - important implications for the application of genomic data for conservation! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Nucleotide diversity is a poor predictor of short-term adaptive potential | PNAS
The capacity to adapt is essential for a population to avoid extinction in a changing world and is recognized as a global conservation priority. Ad...

#SMBE2026 What a fantastic talk by @mexpositoalonso.bsky.social on adaptation to the anthropocene in Arabidopsis 🌱 Adaptation is rapid and predictable but we have to do more to protect species adaptive potential! 🧬 Truly inspiring 👏

A few years ago, we started asking if the adaptation of Iberian wolves to anthropogenic landscapes could be associated with ancient introgression from domestic dogs. In our recently accepted paper at @genomeresearch.bsky.social we provide new insights: genome.cshlp.org/cgi/content/... 🐺🧬🐶
After 5 long years of work, I’m thrilled to share that the main paper from my PhD has finally been accepted in @genomeresearch.bsky.social 🎉 Exciting findings on Iberian wolves and dog introgression coming soon, stay tuned! 🐺🐶🔬
