@CellGenomics Reversing this colonialist remnant requires time, organization and resources, but it is strategic. Public-private partnerships such as GBB are an effective alternative to accelerate genome production in emerging countries of the Global South.

@CellGenomics Producing local genomes and training people to use them should be initiatives appropriated and led by megadiverse countries in the Global South and not outsourced to countries in the Northern Hemisphere.

🐺🧬Thrilled to see our paper now out in @MolBioEvol! Using #populationgenomics we tested if #EasternWolves are recent #hybrids between #coyotes and #greywolves, or if they are a distinct taxonomic entity. doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

Aproveito para divulgar o site do primeiro encontro regional da "Society for Molecular Biology & Evolution" (SMBE) a ser realizado no Brasil, mais especificamente em Belém, entre 30/09 e 1/10: smbe-brazil.com Divulguem e participem!

Thanks also to the great work of Gabriela Gonçalves, Tânia Quaresma, Marcelo Silva, and @MauroPichorim. Made open access by Instituto Tecnológico Vale.

Happy to share some of the results of @PabloCerqueir19 PhD dissertation: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/zs… - A new species of antshrike from the Caatinga. Named after the pioneering archaeologist and conservationist Niede Guidon, founder of the Serra da Capivara National Park.

Last chance for any UK-based early career researchers (late PhD/postdoc) interested in #genomics and/or #LandscapeEcology for a fully-funded trip to Brazil for a workshop docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…… deadline extended for a few more days

@jdalapicolla @Turtle_Mistress Quer saber mais das implicações deste estudo? oglobo.globo.com/brasil/noticia…… (A foto é na verdade de Lucas Eduardo Araújo Silva e, deixando claro, são 400 MIL anos, não 400 anos!).

🧬💯🇧🇷

Calling Brazilian and UK-based early career #biodiversity 🧬🌴🐟🦜🐜researchers please apply to attend our workshop in mid June - "Integrating population #genomics and #LandscapeEcology to guide Amazonian conservation planning" docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… deadline 19 April.

As Brazil’s environment minister, Marina Silva helped to rein in rampant deforestation and rebuild institutions that were weakened by the previous government go.nature.com/3vf1ZsN

@Jente_O Congrats Jente! You deserve this!!!!

It's official. 😀 My position at Wageningen University will be permanent from February 2024 onwards. 🥳

@Erika_Berenguer @ValeriaCTavares @ReadyJonS @silviabbarreto Oi Erika, a ideia é complementar os protocolos já existentes do Monitora com uma "camada" extra de resolução oferecida pelo DNA ambiental. Teremos mais detalhes sobre onde e como no início de 2024! Acompanhe nosso site: itv.org/en/genomics-of…

@AlexandreAlei20 @ValeriaCTavares @ReadyJonS @silviabbarreto Oi Aleixo, como q tá sendo usado dentro do Monitora? Brigadão!

Semana passada, dezenas de nós participamos do workshop de metabarcoding do GBB (itv.org/en/genomics-of…), que abriu caminho para a incorporação de protocolos de eDNA no ICMBio – programa nacional de biomonitoramento MONITORA (gov.br/icmbio/pt-br/a…).
