Very belated post about the amazing @thefsbi.bsky.social and @ifmfish.bsky.social confernce we just had in Belfast. The science was incredible, the people were amazing. Pretty sure I didn't get to talk to all ~160 of you, but I had the best time, and it's feeling very quiet without you!!

New paper with @birdpicsandscience.bsky.social out TODAY!! We found that choosing "highly informative loci" (aka high fst loci) may bias results in common population genetic analyses onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Explainer thread to come! #PopGen #PopulationGenomics #Evolution

@quadratdtp.bsky.social Cohort 6 of QUADRAT-DTP is in Cromarty this week learning core skills and field risk assessments: today the group splits into first aid and social media training: everybody enjoying the wonderful environs of Cromarty

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work. I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

#PhD opportunities are like buses - you wait for ages and then two come along at once! Check out this chance to work with @benciotti.bsky.social, Michael Collins & me on 'Environmental drivers of variation in populations of sandy beach #fishes' www.plymouth.ac.uk/schools/scho... Please share 🏖 🐟

Saturday was Remembrance Day for Lost Species, honoring species lost to the #extinctioncrisis. Last year we lost 21 species to the extinction crisis. Every lost species threatens to unravel ecosystems and in the process reduce the services they provide. Learn more about them➡️ biodiv.us/3VfvrsH

Climate change is a 'natural' process now occurring ~10 times faster than the average rate after an ice age. Extinction is 'natural' but is now occurring 1000X faster than in past eras (apart from mass extinctions). Biological invasion is now at rates 100000X prehistoric levels of spp colonisations.
