Fantastic day at the @bassangleruk AGM showcasing @Uni_of_Essex & @PlymUni's research projects in collaboration w/ @CefasGovUK & BASS. Genuine pleasure meeting the anglers & learning from them. Also @hannahsrudd gave an amazing talk, just wish we'd been able to see you in person!

New preprint alert🚨 We posted our reconstruction of the evolutionary history of field vole species complex. We generated more than a 100 mitochondrial and 26 nuclear genomes from ancient and modern specimens. Here is what we found, a 🧵 #ancientDNA doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.…

New herring ancient DNA preprint by @lane_atmore, with @JHBarrettArch, @archaeoRattus and many others. It remains astounding that DNA is preserved in such tiny, tiny archaeological fish bones for over 1000 years. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

It’s winter. The buzzing has stopped - mostly. So what’s happened to all the #bees? You’ve been asking…so a quick thread to broadly account for our little #friends at this time of year. Please #retweet and #share. You know the drill. The more informed the better for bees. 1/13

▪️ Open postdoc position ▪️ 🔎🧬🐘 I'm recruiting a postdoc to work with me on mapping the genomic legacy of the elephant ivory trade in Europe using ancient DNA. Hosted by Lund University 🇸🇪 with @BengtHanssonLU Please RT! Info & apply here: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

It is a please to announce our second invited speaker, a brilliant Portuguese researcher in Norway. More information about the invited speaker can be found here enbe2024.rd.ciencias.ulisboa.pt/plenary-speake…… @enbe_pt

Last week I had an amazing opportunity at the Natural History Museum in Bergen to study an incredible collection of walrus skulls from Svalbard. I can't wait to see what we will discover about these! 😁 @4oceanserc

My lab read this paper biorxiv.org/content/10.110… for journal club, and had some thoughts on the strong claims made about the number of signals of selection found. 1/

Beautifully filmed and educational footage of buzz pollination in action, very much worth 9 mins of your life :) youtube.com/watch?v=fQsnPA…

A new study shows that #butterflies, #bumblebees & #hoverflies can be equally effective #pollinators. Read about it here: jeffollerton.co.uk/2024/09/13/but… #ecology #biodiversity #botany #entomology #bees @savebutterflies @StevenFalk1 @DaveGoulson @HoverflyLagoons @BumblebeeTrust

Great new paper about #shark fidelity to their home reef during stressful periods by @mjw_marine. See thread below and @guardian piece on it here: 🦈🪸🌊 theguardian.com/environment/ar…

One plus of publishing with Heredity could be if your institute has an agreement for Open Access publications #OA springernature.com/gp/open-scienc…

Final paper from Dr. Sabrina Schultzes PhD! Comparing the effect of DOM quality and origin on toxicant uptake and accumulation in coastal filter feeders. Tunicates and mussels! #costaldarkening #terrestrialrunoff #climatechange Great collab w/ @NIVAforskning @mchlab @CbaOslo

New publication: "Climate change vulnerability of Arctic char across Scandinavia" with Dag O. Hessen & Leif Asbjørn Vøllestad from @biovitenskap published in Global Change Biology by @WileyGlobal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…

@EnvSciTech @BorgaK @biovitenskap @UniOslo Our “general public” video summarising the study can be viewed here 🤩 This study was funded by @kldep’s #Arktis2030 and a collaboration between @UniOslo, #norwegianorcasurvey, @UniNMBU, @NILU_now & @Havforskningen 🐳

So excited to share this paper! Silje Marie Kristiansen did a tremendous job, with long hours herding, counting and measuring thousands of springtails and eggs to understand how thermal adaptation affects temperature-dependent pesticide toxicity doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

New paper out in PNAS. We used paleogenomics, genetic simulations, and stable isotope analysis of 45 zooarchaeological beluga remains and compare the findings with contemporary data from modern tissue samples provided by Inuvialuit hunters. 1/4 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
