Join us in Bodø!

We have compiled a special issue for @evolappjournal.bsky.social on Effective population size in Conservation and Biodiversity Monitoring, dedicated to the late Michael W. Bruford. This SI is a must read for everyone who struggles with what "effective population size" means. #consgen

🧬 Today, we ran a webinar addressing questions about monitoring #genetic #biodiversity with genetic indicators. Thanks @seanmhoban.bsky.social @jgeue.bsky.social @jmergeay.bsky.social @joostraeymaekers.bsky.social for joining the panel! 🍿 The recording will be available in January. #consgen #KMGBF

On the road again for Chipolata, our project studying climate change and harvesting impacts on the pelagic fish community of Lake Tanganyika. Follow our Instagram account for updates!🌡️🎣🌊 www.instagram.com/reel/DRMW0tL...

🧬 GINAMO is... 🟩 an international research initiative 🟩 developing tools for monitoring genetic #biodiversity 🟩 co-creating with stakeholders 🟩 funded by @biodiversa.eu 🟩 now on Bluesky! 📽️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=GARevjuLDhs 🏞️ #ConsGen #Conservation #Genetics #KMGBF #Science

Help protect our waters! 🌊 The #GuardIAS project has just launched an online course on preventing invasive aquatic species. Essential knowledge for anyone in ecology, conservation, or environmental management. Get started 👉 www.ecmunipv.it/login/index.... #MOOC #InvasiveSpecies

niche #rstats tweet: does anyone have a nice snippet of code they would share to download, import, and reshape GLORYS12 ocean data?

GINAMO just launched a new blog & newsletter about monitoring and reporting genetic diversity. Join now! @biodiversa.eu

That’s a wrap for the #GuardIAS Annual Meeting! Three inspiring days of exchange, collaboration, and progress towards stronger action on #InvasiveSpecies. Grateful to all who contributed to the discussions and next steps! #bioinvasions #AquaticEcology #MarineEcology @guardias.bsky.social

Day 2 of the #GuardIAS meeting was all about our 11 case studies! Great to see the nitty-gritty of using eDNA & drones for detection, modelling population spread, and launching new citizen science projects. Also got a preview of upcoming online events from at @invasivesnet.bsky.social.
