Just over a month left to apply for scholarships on this project. We will run internal pre-selection interviews end of November, so if you consider applying, please reach out now. I can guarantee amazing scientific and intellectual environment at the Institute for Eco Evo @edinburghup.bsky.social

Western chimpanzees in Guinea-Bissau are at threat. Study shows a critically low population size (~500), signaling high extinction risk. Coastal groups are most vulnerable, while inland populations are a key stronghold. Urgent, targeted conservation is needed 🧬🌍 doi.org/10.1111/eva.70162

Career highlight being interviewed and featured in Science news 👩🏼‍🔬🧬 Fate of the last female great auk is finally solved | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

Really cool study led by Emily L. Cavill about the last female great auk specimen!! 🕵️ 🔍🐧 doi.org/10.1093/zool...

Great place and people to work with!! 🐏 🐏 🐏 www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

Excited to share that I’ve started as Associate Professor at the Technical University of Denmark! 🧑‍🎓 I also received an a NNF Emerging Investigator grant to use genomics + machine learning to study extinction. 👉 PhD & Postdoc positions coming soon — follow for updates! Reposts appreciated 🙏

More about the West African rock doves, including what could be the first "official" picture of these birds alive!! 🕊️ doi.org/10.25226/bbo...

New rock dove paper!🕊️ Bit by bit, we are disentangling their evolutionary history and adding evidence to recognise the elusive West African rock doves as a different species *please ignore the little typo in the title, livia should be lowercase @trstngnthr.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Shameless promotion from #isba11 - I'll be hiring PhDs to start early 2026 (plus postdocs starting later), using #adna to study livestock and pathogen coevolution, particularly looking at inbreeding and immune gene evolution! Contact me at kevin[at]palaeome.org, full ad to come. Please share!

Fantastic dental calculus and where to find it Johnny Richards and team (@markella-morait.bsky.social + curators from 5 museums) survey >140 mammalian species with >1,600 specimens to understand what factors determine dental calculus formation. #aDNA #museomics www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
