SCB Cons Gen Working Group 🧬🌱🌍

Voting for the SCB Cons Gen Working Group elections extended through the end of the month! To vote, all you need to do is: 1) Log into the SCB Home Page. 2) Navigate to the Member Area (top right bar on the page). 3) Click on the link to Vote for the Group's election. 4) Vote :)

Want to be more involved with the CGWG? Nominate yourself for an open board position: VP, Treasurer, or Secretary. Early career researchers, postdocs, grads & practitioners especially encouraged to apply!

Got a PhD in ecological, population, or conservation genetics? Wanna work on projects combining seacsape genetics, demographic modelling and conservation of marine organisms? Work with me @HKUSBS ! #postdocjobs Apply here: jobs.hku.hk/en/job/516729/… PS: Hong Kong ended quarantine

🚨Job opportunity🚨 Join our Conservation Genetics team in Gelnhausen and help detect genetic traces of #mosquitoes, #birds, #amphibians in #eDNA water samples.🧬 We're looking for a Master Student 👉sgn.one/wiss-karriere #researchjobs #sciencejobs #sciencecareers #Genomics

Nice thread from @certhionyx on our new paper: #GeneticDiversity, population structure, and #ConservationGenetics to inform management of northern quolls 🧬@OMGenomes

The current #environment crisis threatens the long-term viability of species. In this perspective, we propose to combine genomic analyses with modelling to improve extinction risk and recovery assessments. See below. #ClimateCrisis #Genomics #conservation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New paper: Genetic diversity and spatial genetic structure support the specialist‑generalist variation hypothesis in two sympatric woodpecker species in Conservation Genetics by G. Pasinelli. doi.org/10.1007/s10592… #openaccess #ornithology 📷M. Burkhardt

An incredible scientific effort to understand genetic diversity losses in the #Anthropocene. Well timed for the @UNBiodiversity negotiations this fall and winter. Message: We are losing vital genetic diversity and resilience and must act! @gbike_cost @SCBConGen @GEOBON_org

Re-sharing this preprint via BioRxiv - if you use non-invasive samples and/or do #conservationgenetics #ConGen then this might be of interest!

Report- first assessment of the feasibility of genetic diversity indicators, across thousands of species. Open access- free to all! @UNBiodiversity @GEOBON_org @fieldgenomics @gbike_cost @SCBConGen @MikeBruford Now we need to do it in more detail & in less wealthy countries.

Do you have #conservation research related to #genomics to share? Submit your abstract to #ConsGenPop22 to demonstrate insights on the challenges and applications of population-level conservation genomics. #biodiversity #eDNA ⏳ Deadline: 13 Sept! 🌐bit.ly/3pAb61b

The deadline to apply for the @SCBConGen early career award is July 16. Nominate yourself or others with important contributions to #congen and PhDs for < 10yrs. All applications require 2 rec letters my.reviewr.com/s2/site/SCB_20… @NACCB2022 @Society4ConBio @TWS_MEWG @gbike_cost

Build your cross-disciplinary network and expand your conservation impact! Join us @NACCB2022 for an SCB joint networking session between the Conservation Genetics, Social Science, and Participatory and Citizen Science working groups. Register here: msu.zoom.us/meeting/regist…”

Please help add to this historic exploration of the roots of the field of conservation genetics! @congenetics @SCBConGen @gbike_cost @ConGRESS_EU

We are interested in groups ranging from those with conservation genetics as their core focus to more broadly focused groups with conservation geneticists on staff @mhmeek @CinnamonMittan @congenetics @gbike_cost @SCBConGen @GEOBON_org

I’m collaborating on a project to identify all the organisations and professional societies in the world that are incorporating #genetics in species management and #conservation. What are groups you know about (global, regional, and local)? #ConservationGenetics

📢Registration for #ConsGen22 will open on the 22nd April and will close on the 30th June. 📅Abstract submission will close on the 31st May. ➡️Head to consgen.org for more info on the meeting.
