Our BSc student, Pedro Sousa @Iam_the_real_ps, also presented his work about hybridization dynamics in alpine hare species under climate-driven range shifts, at the 7th World Lagomorph Conference! 🐇🧬 #WLC7 @WorldLagomorph

Our postdoc, João Marques @jpnm, presented and discussed the BGE project and the MyxoHares case study at a workshop with world specialists in lagomorph diseases, at the 7th World Lagomorph Conference, in Belfast! 🐇 #WLC7 @WorldLagomorph @BioGenEurope

PhD student @costajosed discussed his research project, "Using sister taxa to unravel the role of demography and adaptation promoting divergence and admixture", at the 7th World Lagomorph Conference! 🐇🧬 #WLC7 @WorldLagomorph

Our former member @MafaldaSFe is presenting some of the work developed in our lab at the 7th World Lagomorph Conference, talking about "Evolution According to Lepus: Camouflage, Introgression, and Adaptation to Future Climates"! 🐇🧬 #WLC7 @WorldLagomorph

Our BSc student Rodrigo Pires also presented a poster about his work on the genetics basis of divergent social behaviours in mice at the @Mouse_Meeting. 🐀🧬 #MouseMeeting2024

Our postdoc @jpnm shared the main results of his PhD thesis at the @Mouse_Meeting. 🐀🧬 Stay tuned for more news on these results! #MouseMeeting2024

🖥️ Last week, our PhD students @BioMarAlvarenga, @costajosed, and @jsofiaalves dove into the world of evolutionary modeling at the SLiM workshop hosted by @UnivPoliMarche. #EvolutionaryBiology #SLiMWorkshop

Our PhD students @BioMarAlvarenga & @costajosed joined the Workshop on Genomics 2023, an intense journey of learning and networking. Practical activities and interactions with speakers enriched their knowledge and connections. Keep an eye out for their work! #evomics2023 @evomics

During this semester, @jpnm and @inesscmiranda coordinated a scientific research project developed by Biology students at a local high school. Last week, students got to share their experiences at a science fair and a scientific meeting at their school! Check the photos below! ⬇️

The Workshop on Genomics 2023 took place in a quaint little town in Czech Republic, for 2 weeks of an intense program. It successfully trained 70 early-career biologists from all around the world! Program: evomics.org/2023-workshop-…

Jim Whiting @jimwhiting_sci and his nice introduction to population genomics. This is unfortunately the last practical session of Workshop on Genomics in Český Krumlov. #evomics2023

Fritz Sedlazeck @sedlazeck giving nice talk on various methods for structural variation calling. #evomics2023

A new Science study investigates the evolution of white-tailed jackrabbit camouflage in response to past and future seasonal climates. scim.ag/25U

Our work on camouflage and climate change @ScienceMagazine! See🧵 by @MafaldaSFe who wonderfully drove this work. Another insightful collaboration with @jeffreymgood, and the work of an amazing team. doi.org/10.1126/scienc… @CIBIO_InBIO @UPorto @evochange #evochange_lab

Our research on seasonal colouration was featured in the latest episode of the TV show Biosfera @rtppt about the Biology of Colour! Our PI @meloferreiraj talked about our research goals and latest results. Watch it in the link below! (🇵🇹 only) ⬇️ rtp.pt/play/p11190/e6…

@costajosed has completed his MSc thesis on the distribution and the genetic diversity of the broom hare and their importance for conservation planning. Well done, José! 👏🎓

Yesterday, our student @Joao_MSouto successfully defended his MSc thesis about the history of divergence and hybridization in sister hare species! Huge contragulations, João!! 👏🎓

The @CIBIO_InBIO "invasion" to the #WLC6, Montpellier! What a week! Great weather, great talks and great crew! 📢 @alvesmjoel @meloferreiraj @soraiambarbosa et. al!
