New study on factors influencing collisions of Red Kite Milvus milvus with wind turbines: findings suggest that turbines with rotor diameters <90m and clearances > 60m may pose a lower relative threat to Red Kites. Read more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

🪶 Last year, @justynakubacka.bsky.social launched a project to support the #conservation of the threatened aquatic warbler. Now the results are in, offering key insights into its past & present to help safeguard its future. 🔗 www.erga-biodiversity.eu/post/big-dat... #Conservation @mizpas.bsky.social

This paper blew me out of the water!

Our new @science.org paper is out! Cuckoos and hosts are locked in a coevolutionary arms race over egg mimicry. But how are these egg types inherited, and could this drive speciation? We sequenced hundreds of genomes to find out! doi.org/10.1126/scie... 🧵1/6

My main PhD work @monteirolab.bsky.social is now in @natecoevo.nature.com! We found a Hox gene promoter that helps butterflies🦋adjust their wing eyespots in response to seasonal temperatures🍃🍂, shedding light on the evolutionary origin of phenotypic plasticity. 1/9 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 2nd master’s project! Interested in bird migration & genomics? 🧬🐦 Use whole-genome data to trace the recent colonization of Ouessant Island by Blue Tits and explore how irruptive migratory events can shape colonization dynamics. Please share! #ornithology www.vogelwarte.ch/de/wir/mitar...

1/9 New in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado8005 How does genetic architecture constrain evolutionary trajectories? To address this question, we inferred the genetic architecture of convergent plumage coloration and its evolutionary history in wheatears.

Iguanas rafting 8000 km represents the longest documented transoceanic dispersal event (i.e. vagrancy event) in a terrestrial vertebrate www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🌎

Warum Wissenschaftler*innen nicht mit Verschwörungsideolog*innen „debattieren“ sollten – ein Thread 🧵 #ScienceCommunication #FalseBalance #Journalismus

I’m very proud and happy to share the first paper of my PhD with @millanek.bsky.social that is now published in the latest issue of the journal Evolution @journal-evo.bsky.social. academic.oup.com/evolut/artic...

I am looking for a Postdoc (3 years, start Mid-2025) to work on conservation genomics of ringed seal in the Baltic. The project will use genomic data for 100s of individuals, SDM and genomic simulations. #conservationgenetics #consgen Apply here: recruit.visma.com/spa/public/a...

Do you want to make genetic maps from sperm/pollen/gametes? Now there is an easy way, based on Hi-C sequencing. Thanks to Richard Durbin and Ed Green for the idea and a group of co-authors including @mariontalbi.bsky.social and @danielbolnick.bsky.social for contributions.
