🌊🧬Our new preprint on population genetics of bowmouth guitarfish in the Northwest Indian Ocean led by Marja Kipperman with @blue_resources @ElasmoProject @JuliaSpaet @Alifa_Haque
https://t.co/OHnpXCRFC7 Thanks to @saveourseas and @SharkRayFund for supporting this work.

The bowmouth guitarfish ( Rhina ancylostomus ) is a unique and relatively understudied species of wedgefish with a distribution spanning the Indo-Pacific Oceans. Due to targeted and bycatch fisheri...

New paper out! 🎉🎉🎉 We take a deep dive into the evolutionary history of giraffes. 🦒 There is a lot of discussion about if this is 1 species (as it is currently on the IUCN Red List) or actually more than 1. This is crucial to guide conservation. 🧵 https://t.co/xmU8jb2WfN

Some good news as the scimitar-horned oryx moved from Extinct in the Wild to Endangered, according to the latest @IUCNRedList update. Conservation efforts have seen at least 140 mature individuals ranging freely in a reserve in Chad. https://t.co/zjuP0PWPlk

Stemming from the discourse in conservation bio & molecular genetics, our study shows adaptive & neutral variation is indeed correlated, But it’s more nuanced, as recent population declines breaks the link & makes future assessments less predictable | PNAS https://t.co/hHjDFUIgng

Breaking the chains of #WildlifeCrime! TRACE Wildlife Forensics Network develops training and capacity building for wildlife law enforcement to be able to collect, secure, analyse, and present evidence to a court of law. We made a film about it! ⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/RiEeW4B5mQ

Pre-print is out! We use a unique approach to investigate the genetic architecture of inbreeding depression, maximising the power of our wild dataset and ensuring effect sizes are not overestimated. Check it out below👇👇 (Any comments are welcome!)

Hot off the press in @ScienceAdvances, polar bear genomics, diet analysis, morphological comparisons, and habitat modelling! With the combined inferences we show how the environment shaped the evolutionary ecology of Greenlandic polar bears. https://t.co/XyBk51QpcF 🐻❄️❄️

Do wild Soay sheep 🐑 harbour embryonic lethal mutations🧬? - well, sort of. How we found out and how important we think they are 👇
Should we care about embryonic lethal mutations in wild mammal populations? A new study in Soay sheep combines long-term genomics and fitness data in an attempt to find out: https://t.co/PoEHYRsnzN Now in @EvolLetters by @m_a_sto, @SuseJohnston et al. @SoaySheep 📷: @m_a_sto
