Our work was featured on IUCN SSN Shark News, highlighting our review of rapid DNA/eDNA tools for Chondrichthyes conservation worldwide, and our free eBook to help practitioners, students, and researchers understand and apply these tools @iucnshark.bsky.social 🦈 Read it here: bit.ly/SharkNews13

Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens): Native to the Himalayas and South Western China, this mammal is about the size of a domestic cat and is mainly active from dusk to dawn. 🙂 It looks like its been a long week! #redpanda #nature #wildlife #bsky

2,133 publications covering 97,783 impacted and reference sites, creating an unparallelled dataset of 3,667 independent comparisons of #biodiversity impacts across all main organismal groups, habitats and the five most predominant human pressures www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I will forever be haunted by this footage. Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity. What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives. 🌎🦑🧪

Accelerated Arctic warming is reshaping the polar environment, but focusing only on the impacts of long-term annual temperature rise can miss key consequences of shorter-lived, but extreme, weather shifts coming as a result of climate change.

New paper! Social media for fisheries science and management professionals: How to use Bluesky and Instagram, and why you should. This is the *first* paper in the peer reviewed scientific literature to explain how Bluesky works and how to use it for #SciComm 🧪🦑🐠 academic.oup.com/fisheries/ad...

Our research group uses genomic tools to study evolutionary responses to changes in climate in natural populations, including processes such as local adaptation, hybridization, speciation. Read more about our work & check out our blog ⬇ www.cibio.up.pt/en/groups/ge... evoluchange.wordpress.com

From participant to instructor -- returning to the Workshop on Genomics this year was an incredible experience! 🎉 Dive into my journey on the other side of the classroom and learn more about this amazing workshop. 🧬✨ 🔗 Read here: evoluchange.wordpress.com/2025/02/17/m... @evomics.bsky.social

One of the highlights of this workshop! 🤩

Such a nice way to finish our first day! 😁

Guess what happened today? A government agent got in touch with me after reading my paper! See my work make a real difference in protecting species is what I've been aiming for as a conservationist. It might be just a simple e-mail, but it pumped me up to keep working hard!😊

Our paper in the Brazilian press! "Eight out of ten species of sharks and rays in national trade are threatened with extinction" abori.com.br/oceanografia... @ingridbunholi.bsky.social

Our new contribution to the conservation of biodiversity of sharks and rays is out to the world! ⚠️🧬🦈
