So happy to see two friends in May 2026 GBE's cover ❤️ Congrats @lorenalf.bsky.social and Jorge!!

@lorenalf.bsky.social et al. scanned the genomes of the four extant species of lynx for recent selective sweeps, revealing species-specific signatures of ecological differentiation in their genomes, with minimal overlap. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag086 📷 Jorge Monje Martín #genome #evolution

Missed yesterday’s ERGA plenary? Maria José Ruiz López explored how genomics can shed light on vectorial capacity and insecticide resistance in Culex mosquitoes. Watch here: youtu.be/UOW0ma7ayeI #ERGA #Genomics #OneHealth

Happy our latest work is out! 🧬🦟 1️⃣ We present chromosome-level reference genomes for four Culex species present in the Mediterranean Basin 🦟Cx. laticinctus 🦟Cx. modestus 🦟Cx. perexiguus 🦟Cx. theileri They were generated as part of @ergabiodiv.bsky.social initiative's @biogeneurope.bsky.social

Ruiz-López et al. assemble reference sequences for four Culex species, offering crucial resources for exploring the genetic basis of vector competence for different pathogens, and help implement mosquito control efforts and disease prevention. 🔗 academic.oup.com/gbe/article/... #genome #evolution

Sometimes work looks like this and I LOVE IT! 🧬🦟

How does life evolve to adapt to modern cities? Out now in Science, my PhD work with @lindymcbr.bsky.social uncovers the ancient origin of the “London Underground mosquito” – one of the most iconic examples of urban adaptation. 🧵(1/n) @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ady4515

I'm so happy to have shared this amazing conference, not only with fellow students, but with friends❤️🧬 We still have time for a bit more fun on the last day of #ESEB2025

@ebdonana.bsky.social PhD students: Birds seeds dispersal: @rausangar.bsky.social Mosquito population genomics: @soniacebc.bsky.social Lynx phylogenomics: @lorenalf.bsky.social Iberian lynx conservation genomics: @luciamayorf.bsky.social @lperezsorribes.bsky.social @eseb2025.bsky.social

@ebdonana.bsky.social #PhD students at #ESEB2025🧬 We shared research on bird seed dispersal, mosquito pop genomics, and Iberian lynx phylogenomics & conservation genetics. Thank you for a wonderful congress filled with new connections and inspiring discussions. @eseb2025.bsky.social

➡️ Nice experience sharing some results about the alien plant Cotula coronopifolia in Europe at #ESEB2025 🌱🧬 ➡️ We found an unusual genetic structure shaped by selfing, introduction history and waterbirds 🦆 ➡️ Great discussions and valuable feedback to shape our next steps ✅ #PopulationGenomics

As a community, it’s wonderful to meet in person after so many online meetings! 📸 Here are some of the many #ERGA members at #ESEB2025. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to say hi and learn more about ERGA! #GenomesForBiodiversity

Full house in S30 to listen to Prof. Matthew Fitzpatrick. "Can ecological genomics predict population maladaptation under climate change? Lessons learned from 10 years of working with genomic offsets" #ESEB2025

😍Loved helping decorate Carrer Perill for #FestesdeGràcia and sharing how genetics 🧬 has helped conserve the Iberian lynx — a fantastic outreach event by @lcatmon.bsky.social, @eseb.bsky.social & @sesbe-org.bsky.social #ESEB2025 @ebdonana.bsky.social

#eseb2025 talks were great so far. Subjective ranking of the most common quotes: - theory and modeling: "with this very simple approach" - genomics: "using methodology you all know" - plenaries: "Nature/Science" in the bottom right of a slide - posters: "una cerveza por favor"

Second Amazing day at #ESEB2025!!!

Thanks to all who came to check out my poster!! I had a great time and enjoyed so much discussing about chromosomal inversions in different study systems 🧬 #ESEB2025

I stopped by the @britishecologicalsociety.org booth at the #ESEB2025 because OF COURSE I had to draw a lil Culex pipiens. Is it pipiens or molestus? I don't know. Stop by poster P02.181 and I'll explain yo why 😉

Robert Waterhouse at #ESEB2025 - PIs/Profs please give your students a break when they're doing orthology, ancestral state reconstruction, gene/species tree reconciliation work - it's not an overnight process, there are no push-button tools, and fast doesn't equal correct! Love this :-)

My highlight from this second morning of #ESEB25 is the great talk of @clairemerot.bsky.social on structural genomic variants. (yes, we all struggle when bioinformatics analyses don't meet our expected patterns 😒)

Too proud of our Culex babies to not wear my stickers. Have you stop yet by the ERGA booth? #ESEB2025 @ergabiodiv.bsky.social @biogeneurope.bsky.social

If you're interested in mosquitoes or chromosomal inversions stop by my poster today (19th) 5-7pm! 🦟🦟 P02.181 "Inversions Associated with Local Genomic Structure in Culex pipiens Mosquitoes from Southern Spain" If you're working in mosquito genomics and in #ESEB2025 , I would love to connect!

#ESEB2025 has officially started!!! 5 intense day of science that has gathered >1900 people!

Científicos internacionales debatirán en Sevilla sobre comportamiento animal y ecología evolutiva www.investigacion.us.es/noticias/cie... @unisevilla.bsky.social

Esto es una de las cosas más chulas que he visto últimamente. La forma en que el streaming via Youtube está acercando el proyecto a la gente es increíble.

I am (not) sorry 🧛🩸

Yesterday I received the award to Best Oral Communication at the #SEG2025 for my talk on population structure and chromosomial inversions on Culex pipiens 🧬🦟 . Thanks so much to the Committee for this recognition! @segenetica.bsky.social

Beautiful presentation by Lluis Montoliu at the @segenetica.bsky.social meeting. He talks about the scientific path in his last book describing not only his scientific experience but also from his pairs. Inspired by “My life in science” by Sidney Brenner, Montoliu talks about the scientific vocation

And my personal highlights of the conference 👉 talks on emerging yeast pathogens by @tonigabaldon.bsky.social and on origin, adaptation and extinction of the wooly mammoth by @indianadiez.bsky.social #SEG2025 🧬🧬

Sonia Cebrián-Camisón follows at the population genomic session for the @segenetica.bsky.social conference. She presents about the main vector of the West Nile virus, the mosquito Culex pipiens. There are two subspecies, molestus o pipiens that hybridizes between them.

This week presented some results on Cx. pipiens popgen in southwest Spain on the XLIV conference of the @segenetica.bsky.social Thank you so much to the society for the grant that allowed me to attend! #SEG2025 🦟🧬
