The first chapter of my PhD thesis is out: doi.org/10.1111/mec.... !!! This comparative study explores the presence and maintenance of a joint contact zone among three important forest tree species (formed during recolonisation after the LGM). Trees, genetics and evolution, just a perfect combo!

The competitive #researchfunding system is at breaking point. In our new Perspective, Peter Kolarz from @rorinstitute.bsky.social argues for whole system transformation, as innovations to address ongoing problems will not suffice. 🧪 #AcademicSky plos.io/4mjCi0g

Goodbye #eseb2025 @eseb2025.bsky.social see you next time! Perhaps what stuck most was powerful talk on resilience and survival by Palestinian researcher, play director, and ESEB EUEA awardee May Shehady. Let's not forget, let's not look away. 🇵🇸

Last day of #eseb2025! Come join us after the coffee break in room 113-117 to celebrate the JMS and EUEUA award winners and listen to their stories! 🎤 10.30-12.30 in 113-117, Hope to see you there!

Two last two things: This paper comes from the thesis project of a super star MSc student @uu.se, Cesc, who put in a tremendous amount of work. By the way, he's looking for a PhD in case anyone is interested... #ProudPI

Overall, we urge caution when using eDNA to characterize tropical tree biodiversity. Based on our results, we could be pretty sure the samples came from wet forest of Puerto Rico; a more spatially-restricted inference would be difficult (and note this is with a pretty good local reference library).
