Fun collaboration between Xiaole Lei & He Yu in Bejing, and @alexgilardet.bsky.social & @rakkel-tx.bsky.social at #CpgSthlm Of particular interest, the Altai seems to have functioned as a Long-Term Refugium (sensu Stewart et al 2010, Proc Roy B) & diversity driver. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Paleogenomics and habitat modeling reveal temperate Eurasian origins of woolly rhinoceroses

The woolly rhinoceros was a prominent Ice Age megafaunal species, and there is limited knowledge regarding its origin and responses to past glacial cycles. We sequenced 29 mitochondrial and 14 nuclear genomes from Pleistocene specimens across Eurasia and ...

This week, Catarina, Inês, Jacinta and Domingas (AE Miraflores) began their journey into plant–microbe interactions. Supported by João Silva and Niraula Kusum, they are studying drought effects and screening new bioinoculants for sustainable agriculture! @itqbnova.bsky.social

Read our new paper in Genome Biology & Evolution to learn more about how sequencing the genome from a 14,000 year old wolf puppy's last meal yielded novel insights into the woolly rhino's extinction: academic.oup.com/gbe/article/... 📷 Mietje Germonpré

In 1872 John Atkinson Grimshaw was commissioned by the House of Commons to paint three views of the Roundhay Estate (of which this is one) in consideration of the Leeds Corporation Improvement Bill that proposed to turn this former private estate into a public park.

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius. This is one of my favorite @waterbirdsociety.bsky.social papers I've ever handled as managing editor #ornithology
