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 .

📣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! ⬇.

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
