🧬 Although lynxes share a common evolutionary origin, each species presents its own genomic signals linked to its demographic history, ecology, and adaptive responses to environmental challenges. 👉 New study published in Genome Biology and Evolution. www.ebd.csic.es/en/outreach/...

The cover of GBE's May 2026 issue features the study by @lorenalf.bsky.social et al. on the genomics of adaptation of lynx species. 🔗 academic.oup.com/gbe/issue/18/5 📷 Jorge Monje Martín (@jrgmonje) #genome #evolution

@lorenalf.bsky.social et al. scanned the genomes of the four extant species of lynx for recent selective sweeps, revealing species-specific signatures of ecological differentiation in their genomes, with minimal overlap. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag086 📷 Jorge Monje Martín #genome #evolution

🦅Check this amazing iniciative! I'm in love with it! 🐦 Congrats to all authors!

“Donde hemos eliminado a los lobos tenemos el riesgo de fomentar una mayor densidad de ungulados y de generar un mayor reservorio de virus como el de la peste porcina africana" He entrevistado a Isabel Salado, bióloga de @ebdonana.bsky.social en @agenciasinc.es www.agenciasinc.es/Entrevistas/...

💜 Hoy celebramos el #11F, el Día de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia 🔬🌱 En la @ebdonana.bsky.social todas hacemos ciencia. Investigadoras, técnicas, profesionales de administración y compañeras del servicio de limpieza, con su trabajo diario, hacen posible que la ciencia avance con excelencia.

I’m happy to share with you a short video about my PhD, prepared by the @ebdonana.bsky.social Communication Team. Science needs diverse voices — and I’m grateful to be part of the women contributing to #conservation #genomics. 💜 #WomeninSTEM International Day of Women and Girls in Science

✨ En esta noche en que se cumplen los deseos, hemos escrito una carta a @dianamorantr.bsky.social @cienciagob.bsky.social

International Congress on the #IberianLynx: Shared Vision, Coordinated Action has been an inspiring meeting offering a truly integrative view of the decades of work behind the species’ recovery. Incredible to see how coordinated efforts helped move the lynx from Critically Endangered to Vulnerable.

🧬Last week at @ebdonana.bsky.social ’s Science & Tech Week, we walked students through #ConservationGenetics — from alleles and diversity to drift, fitness, and genetic rescue — using the #Iberianlynx in an interactive demo. Great to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm for conservation science 🐾

We have an open PhD student position in evolutionary ecology in our lab @creaf.cat in Barcelona! 🦎 🌳 🦆 🐍 Applications open until Nov. 10th, 2025. Please help us spread the word! Link to position description and requirements: creaf.factorialhr.com/job_posting/... Lab website: oriollapiedralab.com

🐈🧬I recently presented the preliminary results of my first PhD chapter at Biología Investiga 2025, the scientific #outreach days organized by the @unisevilla.bsky.social A great space for scientific exchange within the Faculty of Biology. #PhDlife #WomenInSTEM #Genomics @ebdonana.bsky.social

Excited to share our new article 🐸 in @peerj.bsky.social (10.7717/peerj.19895), based on my internship at @ibe-barcelona.bsky.social during undergrad. As a #frog enthusiast, studying their hybridogenetic systems was mind-blowing! Huge thanks to Carranza lab for the guidance and support 🙌 #Genetics

Wrapped up the National Course of #Genetics 🧬 in the middle of nature at Sierra de Guadarrama. An inspiring week learning from experts and connecting with fellow young researchers. Thanks to @segenetica.bsky.social and #ConexionGenoma @csic.es for making it possible!

“The story of the rescue of the Iberian lynx: when science makes the difference” @lperezsorribes.bsky.social | @ebdonana.bsky.social #ESEB2025 satelite outreach activities by @lcatmon.bsky.social AUGUST 20th, #BCNevolutionDay

@ebdonana.bsky.social #PhD students at #ESEB2025🧬 We shared research on bird seed dispersal, mosquito pop genomics, and Iberian lynx phylogenomics & conservation genetics. Thank you for a wonderful congress filled with new connections and inspiring discussions. @eseb2025.bsky.social

🧬 Today I’m presenting on gene family evolution and lineage-specific selection in lynxes 🐾 Come check out Poster 83 at #ESEB2025!

😍Loved helping decorate Carrer Perill for #FestesdeGràcia and sharing how genetics 🧬 has helped conserve the Iberian lynx — a fantastic outreach event by @lcatmon.bsky.social, @eseb.bsky.social & @sesbe-org.bsky.social #ESEB2025 @ebdonana.bsky.social

Today I will be talking about Iberian lynx #conservation #genomics at #FestaMajordeGracia 🐱 See you at Perill Street ar 17:00! @ebdonana.bsky.social @eseb2025.bsky.social

Today! @eseb2025.bsky.social @ebdonana.bsky.social

Excited to kick off #ESEB2025 today! Looking forward to connecting and exchanging ideas with colleagues from all over. I’ll be presenting my poster on adaptive introgression in the Iberian lynx in the poster session on August 19th — you can find me at panel P02.099. @ebdonana.bsky.social #GENOA

Un altre cop amb l'ai al cor perquè algú força inconscient ha decidit que, perquè facin negoci uns quants, ens deixarem perdre el nostre #patrimoni #natural. Quina poca humilitat davant la natura i, més encara, en aquest context actual d'emergència climàtica. Poca consciència i gens de vergonya!

Congratulations to @robynshaw.bsky.social, @cegrueber.bsky.social, and too many other friends to list here on this important paper in @nature.com on the global extent of genetic diversity loss. It was a pleasure discussing it w/ Elizabeth Pennisi from @science.org. www.science.org/content/arti...

It’s not all doom and gloom! We show in @nature.com that genetic diversity is in decline, but in @theconversation.com we dive into five strategies to help maintain or restore biodiversity @robynshaw.bsky.social @katefarquharson.bsky.social theconversation.com/gene-pools-a... 🧪🌍🦤🧬 #consgen #popgen

An analysis of published data reveals how genetic diversity has been changing in populations of 622 terrestrial and marine species and the effectiveness of different types of intervention to boost genetic diversity https://go.nature.com/3CwUUaN

Out now in @nature.com! Our comprehensive meta-analysis of global terrestrial and marine genetic diversity demonstrates rapid loss of genetic diversity and identifies conservation interventions that could mitigate this process www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🌍🦤🧬 #consgen #PopGen
