At #CICARC2024, @jpnm shared an exciting @BioGenEurope case study developing a genomic application to support Iberian hare conservation facing the myxomatosis outbreak. A great step forward, enabling the engagement of key stakeholders. 🐇🧬 #Conservation #Genomics @erga_biodiv

Our group leader @meloferreiraj presenting at #CICARC2024 the potential of genomics for application on wildlife and game species management. Exciting possibilities for integrating genomics into sustainable management strategies. #Genomics #Conservation @erga_biodiv @BioGenEurope

You can also find out more about ERGA's goals and mission in the newly released flagship paper ⬇ @erga_biodiv nature.com/articles/s4418…

📣NEW PAPER out, led by @jpnm! Do you want to know more about how Portuguese scientists are participating in @erga_biodiv's effort to generate genomic data to aid biodiversity management? 🌍🧬 Read more on the goals of the Biogenome Portugal network! ⬇ nature.com/articles/s4418…

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

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 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

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

We all know the threats biodiversity faces and the need for standardization, collaboration and a clear narrative for funding. We know the gaps, logistical barriers, interoperability issues. We need a stepwise toolkit approach for future scalability and knowledge sharing. #WBF2024
