Our new work unveiling the evolutionary history and population genomics of the Balearic shearwater is out! Led by the amazing @giaranega.bsky.social
@giaranega.bsky.social · 12mo ago1/10 We are thrilled to announce that our new paper on conservation genomics of the Balearic shearwater has just been published online at @pnas.org! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
So happy to see our work published in MBE after a helpful and constructive journey with Editors and Reviewers!! #wildpopulation #nonmodels #E-Ranticorrelation #evolutionaryresearch #Aptenodytes #largepenguins
Molecular Biology and Evolution@molbioevol.bsky.social · last yr.Trucchi et al. analyse genomic and transcriptomic data of Emperor and King penguins, finding that gene expression rates predict the strength of selection; expression should be considered a key parameter in estimating gene-specific selection. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf146 #evobio #molbio
Hey, Miles' @milesroberts.bsky.social beautiful paper showing that sequence diversity missed by standard methods contributes to Lewontin's paradox is officially published in @evolletters.bsky.social. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan...
k-mer-based diversity scales with population size proxies more than nucleotide diversity in a meta-analysis of 98 plant species
Abstract. A key prediction of neutral theory is that the level of genetic diversity in a population should scale with population size. However, as was note

Unsolicited listicle: My list of the most criminally underused/underappreciated phylogenetic comparative methods. Note, I am not involved in ANY of these methods; but I see them as things people are often asking of comparative data but have been surprised at how infrequently they have been cited.
Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
New study finds where birds are declining most. High trend resolution data reveals complexity of bird population changes. “This is the first time we’ve had fine-scale information on population changes across such broad spatial extents and across entire ranges of species,” said Dr. Amanda Rodewald.
