For those interested: joint @IUCNssc @TheWCS @French_Gov UN Knowledge Dialogue on "Setting Science-Based Targets for Biodiversity in the Context of the Sustainable Development Goals" 8/7/20 8am EST. Genetics comes to the UN! Zoom in! @gbike_cost @congenetics @gsegelbacher

New paper in @MolBiolEvol with Yoshan Moodley, @IsaRitaRusso1 and colleagues, funded by @RhinosIRF . Hi-quality #blackrhino reference genome, post-speciation gene-flow and specialisation academic.oup.com/mbe/article-ab… @MolEcolCU @CUBiosciences @gbike_cost

Important paper on genetic diversity in the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework! Thanks to all for making this happen!

1. Some publications are more personal than others. Today's #evolutionarygenomics study of #alpacas and #llamas is the culmination of 4 year's work and >20 years fascination with colleagues in UK, Peru, Chile and China.. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

New paper from group of #GBiKErs and other is published! #biodiversity2020 #biodiversity #openaccess #OpenScience #ClimateChange #ecosystems

DNA methods have revolutionized crime forenzics since the 1990s; even "cold cases" are solved. Currently, the CBD's draft Global Biodiversity Framework doesn't include methodology for genetic diversity of most wild species & ecosystems to adapt to climate change. Isn't that odd?

Today WG4 meeting was very inspiring! Thanks @BuzanElena for lovely organization and to all speakers! Tomorrow we are staring with lectures by @love_dalen and @thedelpho 🔛✅🚵‍♂️🧬🚵‍♀️🧬

It's not a yellow brick road and I have walked on it several times now, but every time I do I get the same feeling of awe and inspiration as the first time when I went to meet Ann Clarke. At the end of this road, through the @frozenark doors exciting work is in the planning!

During morning session we had two fantastic talks about #ancient #DNA by @love_dalen and gene drive mosquitoes by @thedelpho 🧬🦏🧬🦟 Many thanks to @BuzanElena for great organization! @STARBIOS2
