Nice to see Eurasian #otters increasing in coastal areas of the UK, as part of their ongoing Britain-wide recovery. We're currently studying coastal otters particularly. More on that in due course... 🦦 @otterproject.bsky.social @molecol-cardiffuni.bsky.social BBC News share.google/iZkPpK5lV0jt...

Pleasure hosting Prof Carl Jones from #Durrell today for a seminar at @cardiffuni.bsky.social. Inspiring to hear first hand accounts of how he saved several nearly extinct species on #Mauritius. @molecol-cardiffuni.bsky.social

Huge shout-out to Prof Lynne Boddy from @cardiffuni.bsky.social School of Biosciences, for #BES award for a lifetime of incredible achievements in fungal ecology and conservation

Sharing this thread by brilliant Dr @sduplessis.bsky.social about another chapter of her @cardiffuni.bsky.social PhD thesis published. Very pleased to see her museum DNA results looking so promising for us to find out more about #otters. More specimens currently in the pipeline, but 🤫

‼️These #PSMC #peaks are #artifacts‼️ Seen #PSMC results like this🤔? They are caused by ill-set parameters, #very #common, and #easy #to #solve! For details see 🧵& OA paper @currentbiology.bsky.social 🙂🐢🧬🎉! cell.com/current-biol...

Please to share this recent paper in Nature, incl. three of our PI's (plus in memoriam Mike Bruford): Isa-Rita Russo, @orozco-terwengelpa.bsky.social and @o-o-frank.bsky.social

It’s not all doom and gloom! We show in @nature.com that genetic diversity is in decline, but in @theconversation.com we dive into five strategies to help maintain or restore biodiversity @robynshaw.bsky.social @katefarquharson.bsky.social theconversation.com/gene-pools-a... 🧪🌍🦤🧬 #consgen #popgen

We’ve also created a 2-page policy brief for anyone wanting to learn more about conserving #GeneticDiversity- available in 14 languages (and more to come)! Follow the link below ⬇️ url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/uWHeC71Zo8...
