📢 NEW GENOME ALERT The first-ever reference genome for the genus Tarentola, a diverse clade of geckos adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions, provides a foundation for studying the evolutionary history of the genus. 🦎 Find more in #G3journal 🔗 buff.ly/49g4ooE @gubrins.bsky.social

Excited to share our results on genomic adaptation of the Arabian sand boa at #SMBE2026!

I’m at #SMBE2026 this week. My lab is looking to hire a postdoc to study the genetic and developmental mechanisms underlying the evolution of organs and cell types. Please reach out if you’re interested!

Según un estudio liderado por @mncn-csic.bsky.social dos de cada tres especies de anfibios han desaparecido de la Reserva Natural La Planada (Colombia), en las últimas cuatro décadas, seguramente por el hongo de la quitridiomicosis www.revistaquercus.es/noticia/9395... Foto: Pristimantis chalceus.

Interested in #macroevolution, #macroecology, and mountain biodiversity? I'm recruiting a #postdoc for an NSF-funded project at Yale, in collaboration with Martha Muñoz (Yale) and Maya Stokes (Florida State University). I'll be at #Evol2026 and happy to chat! Link below

Check out our new paper where we sequenced a reference genome and did some comparative genomics for Tarentola mauritanica, really happy to work with a species that I can find in my terrace! 🦎🧬

40.000 personas han leído nuestro artículo sobre linces que matan gatos Por si tuviste un buen fin de semana y sólo ahora te empantallaste, aquí va @es.theconversation.com @ebdonana.bsky.social @pablodeolavide.upo.es @creaf.cat @universidadgranada.bsky.social theconversation.com/linces-que-m...

Do you prefer the mountain 🏔️ or the beach 🏖️? The Mazarine blue chose both. Genomics uncover hidden diversity and lead to the description of two new subspecies from isolated montane and coastal populations in Iberia.

🐸Un estudio del @mncn-csic.bsky.social determina cuánto tiempo le lleva a la ciencia describir y nombrar nuevas especies de anfibios ⬇️ ¡Más información! ⬇️

🧵 Why are there so many habitat-specialist squirrels? A new global study explores how habitat specialization has shaped squirrel evolution 👇🐿️🌍

Investigadores del @mncn-csic.bsky.social determinan que pasa más de una década desde que una nueva especie se encuentra en el campo hasta que se nombra, una demora que puede poner en peligro su conservación www.revistaquercus.es/noticia/9287...

¿Cómo es posible que, a pesar de la situación crítica en la que se encuentra, la anguila no esté protegida en España? Porque @miteco.gob.es no está haciendo su trabajo @ec.europa.eu tampoco lo está haciendo, pero desarrollo en el hilo cómo (parece) que está el tema en España (1/9)

Simplemente es desmoralizante ver la precariedad a la que sometemos al personal predoctoral en este país. ¿POR QUÉ CUESTA TANTO CORREGIR LAS COSAS QUE ESTÁN MAL?
