#paperalert #fishes Two closely related minnow ( #Phoxinus ) species share the same rivers — and sometimes even hybridise. But new research shows they've evolved completely different ways of determining sex. 🐟🧬 Lead author PhD student @thetemi.bsky.social @leibnizlib.bsky.social

Are you working on biodiversity monitoring using genomics? Are you developing (AI)tools to track molecular change in declining populations? Are you employing novel methods to track molecular change during or after genetic decline? We would be happy to receive your submissions for #SMBE2026!

SMBE2026 Symposium 5 | Molecular evolution in the era of genetic diversity decline smbe2026.org/programme Organisers - Madlen Stange — Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change, Germany - Deborah M Leigh — Senckenberg Nature Research and Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany Loss of genetic diversity is now recognised as a critical component of the global biodiversity crisis, with direct implications for species’ adaptive potential, population persistence, and long-term evolutionary trajectories. For molecular evolutionists, this represents both an urgent challenge and a unique opportunity: unprecedented genomic resources and analytical methods allow us to quantify genetic erosion, reconstruct historical baselines, and model future outcomes at scales unimaginable a decade ago. We are now able to directly study evolutionary processes in declining, newly formed, or eroded populations, which offer unique insights into the evolutionary past and future. This symposium aims to highlight research at the interface of molecular evolution, population genomics, and biodiversity monitoring. We will showcase cutting-edge genomic methods—ranging from ancient and historical genomics, whole genome-based analyses, and multispecies genomic syntheses, to entirely novel AI and synthetic biology frameworks—that track population-level molecular change over time and space. How these methods have been used to identify evolutionary patterns or changes in the face of loss or restorative action. As well as, how these methods can be used to support transformative change. By bringing together researchers working on evolutionary theory, genomic inference of diversity loss, temporal monitoring of populations, and large-scale data integration, this symposium will provide a forum to identify common conceptual ground, share methodological innovations, and explore the methods needed for future advances.

Extreme female philopatry in Pachypus beetles reveals 14 cryptic species! 🧬 Our study shows ancient speciation (5.3mya) despite limited dispersal, linked to the Messinian salinity crisis. Integrative taxonomy uncovers hidden diversity. #Taxonomy #Genetics url: academic.oup.com/sysbio/artic...

Cryptic species can be phylogenetically old despite strong sex-biased dispersal

Abstract. The impact of strongly differentiated populations on species delimitation due to limited or sex-biased dispersal remains challenging and under-ex

🗓️ Today @sofiavanmoorsel.bsky.social (University of Zurich) will present her work on drought sensitivity in European beech at our Seminar Series. Join us to hear more about intraspecific traits, VOCs, and imaging spectroscopy. Everyone is welcome, in-person or online.

WSL-Eawag Biodiversity Center@wslbiodiversity.bsky.social · 11mo ago

How do physiological and biochemical traits underlie drought sensitivity in European beech? Can imaging spectroscopy detect this intraspecific trait variation remotely? Join our seminar tomorrow with @sofiavanmoorsel.bsky.social to discuss these questions. biodiversitycenter.wsl.ch/en/events/de...

Dass man hier handeln könnte, wenn man wollte, zeigt der LK #Potsdam -Mittelmark und der dortige Wasser-& Bodenverband Nuthe-Nieplitz. Dort werden auf Kreistagsinitiative von #CDU & @die-linke.de (!) alte Stauanlagen systematisch saniert, um dem fallenden Grundwasserspiegel entgegenzuwirken. /1/

Auf was man in ostdeutschen Niedermoorgebieten immer wieder stößt: Alte Staue in den Gräben. 👉 Zur DDR-Zeiten haben sich eigene Meliorationskombinate um die Einstellung der Wasserstände gekümmert. In trockenen Zeiten Wasserhaltung, ansonsten weg mit dem Wasser. Seit 1990 verrosten die Dinger.
