Job alert! Lectureship in field ecology at University of Reading with a special focus on plants.

If you're an #EcoEvo #PhD candidate anywhere in the world looking for project funding, consider applying for the @asn-amnat.bsky.social Student Research Award. Ten proposals for $2k in research funds will be awarded. Due 13 March 2026. Please share widely! 🧪 #grants #ecology #evolution #behavior

Finally published! We first uploaded this preprint in 2022 but dropped it after frustrating reviews. It was well received and cited, motivating us to revisit it. We added new content, including simulations and a proof-of-concept genomic green status assessment. #consgen #popgen #PopulationGenomics

This recently-accepted study highlights the critical need to incorporate genomic erosion—the loss of genetic diversity, accumulation of harmful mutations, maladaptation, and introgression—into conservation assessments. 1/3

This is excellent: Tips and Tricks for Writing Constructive Peer Reviews Perhaps the most excellent part is this subhead: "Remember that peer review is not meant to crush souls". Right? Peer review should improve papers (and OK, gatekeep a little) - not make an author regret their career choices!
