I am very happy to share our lates manuscript: Herbarium digitisation sheds light on historical distribution and drivers of population extinction of a peat bog specialist @plantspplplanet doi.org/10.1002/ppp3.7…

I am very pleased to present our museomics article ‘Minimally destructive hDNA extraction method for retrospective genetics of pinned historical Lepidoptera specimens’. We show that it is possible to sequence a single historical butterfly leg. @Dr_Zaiss link.springer.com/article/10.103…

Our paper on monitoring of genetic diversity in Europe & linking to climate change is out in NE&E. Thanks @gbike_cost Peter Pearman Oliver Broennimann Antoine Guisan Mike Bruford @CoalitionConGen nature.com/articles/s4155…

We remember & memorialize a friend, mentor, & teacher. Always a leader, a force of nature, an enthusiast for the outdoors. Always striving. We continue following your lead @MikeBruford nature.com/articles/s4155… Please share @gbike_cost @Society4ConBio @SCBConGen @congenetics

A short report in ETH News about our pilot study on monitoring genetic diversity in Switzerland #GenDiv: A survey of genetic diversity among native Swiss living organisms ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev… via @eth

For more information on the success of the sampling of the five species for the pilot study on the monitoring of genetic diversity in Switzerland #GenDiv, see gendiv.ethz.ch/en/successful-…

Great workshop. I feel very positive about the future of #conservation #Genetics.

how to best monitor #geneticdiversity ? workshop organised by @FischerMartinC . great to catch up in person with so many colleagues @seanmhoban @fieldgenomics @RobsShaw @LindaLaikre @debbiemleigh @MadStange @astrid_boehne @HighlandNewt @chloology and many others

1st day of the Genetic Diversity Monitoring workshop @ETH on ongoing monitoring projects and stakeholder engagement came to an end. Looking forward to the 2nd day on genetic diversity indicators: Measuring and reporting genetic diversity.

Great opening talk @ETH Zurich Genetic Diversity Monitoring workshop highlighting @IUCN guidance including work by @nature_scot

This is how to show #genetic data, thanks to @RobsShaw

Amazing honor to work with many of my heros, mentors and friends today to do our best to conserve species adaptive potential to help the planet. Maintain all populations and high effective size so they can adapt. Genetic div = foundation of biodiversity #cop15 @UNBiodiversity

Our @gbike_cost @CoalitionConGen @GEOBON_org side-event #COP15 on crucial importance of #geneticdiversity in @UNBiodiversity #post2020 #globalbiodiveristyframework was a huge success! Thanks sponsors/cohosts @naturvardsverk @Stockholm_Uni @havochvatten @SANBI_ZA @MikeBruford ++

Join us for the next #MeeGene seminar @Leibniz_LIB We are happy to host @FischerMartinC from @ETH on Tuesday 13.12.2022 at 15h CET to hear about "Monitoring genetic diversity: A genomics-based pilot study from Switzerland". Register at meegene@leibniz-lib.de

The open access book on evidence use and decision making should be out in late November. Has a great global team of authors. Hope it can be included as reading material in courses and becomes recommended reading in organisations. bit.ly/3TqteY9

#MeeGene is back @Leibniz_LIB ! Please check our schedule here bonn.leibniz-lib.de/en/research/pr…, first talk will take place 18.10.2022 at 15h CET, this semester we have @JamyMahwash @Latrunculia @AnjaWestram @ComdrSalamander @FischerMartinC Filipa Martins and @Rosamygale

Gabriel Ulrich from @UZH_ch talks about harnessing #herbaria to assess geographic extent and genetic consequences of habitat loss, quite interesting topic for everyone who works in #Botany and #anthropocene #Bauhin2022

All the wonderful delegates of @consgen22 in the Edinburgh sunshine 🌞 #consgen22

sampling is crucial when setting up a genetic monitoring programme @FischerMartinC #consgen22 - let´s aim for random sampling

why genetic diversity is important and how to set up a programme to monitor it - the Swiss model @FischerMartinC #Consgen22
