Just one more talk, please? ☝️ #SMBE2026 in Copenhagen concludes. It's been an amazing week - with the largest ever attendance at an SMBE meeting! #society

🙏

Easily my fav lecture this year at #SMBE2026. See y’all next year!

Wanna learn about the impact of the Transatlantic slave trade in Europe? Have you ever heard about Afro-Europeans? Come over to my poster (S314) at Arkaden 6 between 18-20.00 today! #SMBE2026

And so it begins! #SMBE2026

First taste at #SMBE2026: joining the intriguing GHIST2026 challenge as a participant. We have 6 months to see who will be the best at detecting selective sweeps, demographic changes and infer relatedness patterns. Let the Hunger Games begin.

Nuevo proyecto de podcasts: #DivulgaQueAlgoQueda #DQAQ. Arrancamos con el enorme @carlossarabia.bsky.social analizando al detalle la #Ciencia de la maravillosa #JurassicPark. #CienciaÑ 🧪 Aquí en YouTube: youtu.be/iSVZALTNE-Y Aquí en Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3fl7...

Philos. Trans. R. Soc. B. issue on negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS) is out! royalsocietypublishing.org/rstb/issue/3... So excited to read the articles in here!

🚨 Why can’t mammals regenerate limbs like frog tadpoles or salamanders? In our new paper in @science.org , we show that species-specific oxygen sensing acts as a gatekeeper for initiating limb regeneration 🐭🐸 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #EvoDevo

A paper that passed largely unnoticed, like carnivores in a "inhospitable" desert: Trophic niche partitioning in a carnivore community of a hyper-arid environment, the Sahara Desert Let me tell you what it's about. (1/6) doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...

I am excited and proud to introduce to you PSMC-FAC (FNR-Automatized Correction) — a mathematical method designed to optimize the calculation of False Negative Rates in low-coverage curves. Let me break it down briefly:

Bioconductor 3.23 is released! Thanks to the core team for all the hard work that goes into a release, and to the package reviewers. The lab has a bunch of updates in here that I'll post in 🧵 over the next few days:

Thrilled to announce 2 major changes in my academic career: 1. I got a postdoc grant (Beatriu de Pinos) to fund 3 years of research! Focused on African ancestry in Europeans, but still collaborating with conservation genetics. 2.A JAE-Intro CSIC grant to fund a MSc student for 6 months! More soon!

Fun news! @gcbias.bsky.social and I are teaching a 2-week online population genetics workshop this summer to raise money for the Center for Population Biology at UC Davis. We're trying to gauge interest -- please fill this out if you might be interested! And please share broadly!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

(me traigo, actualizado, este hilo, larguito, del otro lado) ¿Cuántos animales matan los gatos en España cada año? No es un cálculo fácil, pero ahí va un intento: al menos 200 MILLONES Abajo explico un intento de poner en pie la cuenta @ebdonana.bsky.social

New publication out! What does explain trophic specialization in carnivores around the world? 231 reviewed papers, 14 regression models, 661 pairwise trophic comparisons, 22 ecoregions in 10 biomes, nearly 30 GLMMs and 3 years later we know it. 1) nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Full success at #eseb2025! Almost non-stop flow of researchers coming to the poster, with insightful and intriguing comments and questions about our work on European wolf demography at #UAB-IBB. Honored to have been part of this.

Let's talk about an (ongoing) research on European wolves. How will climate change affect them? How can we reduce the human impact on them? The best way to see this is looking at their (demographic) history. Come by P02.083 today between 17.00-19.00 to talk! #ESEB2025

This week, the capital of Evolution is Barcelona! Over 1900 evolutionary biologists are gathering for the biennial meeting of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology, coorganised with its Spanish sister #ESEB2025. Over 540 of us are on Bluesky! You can use these starter packs to connect: 1/n

#eseb2025 has started. So many friends and colleagues around. This is amazing. Welcome everyone to Barcelona!

Lo cierto es que se me había pasado difundir en Bluesky. Perdonad, llevo unos meses de trabajo a tope y poco networking. En esta entrevista vais a oír hablar de lobos desextinguidos, un poco de humanos, adaptaciones, dinosaurios (qué?!) y mucho más... Muchísimas gracias por esta oportunidad!

Unthinkable just 10 years ago: Almost 3/4 of the EU’s electricity in 2024 was from renewable energy sources and nuclear. Gas and coal electricity generation is at record low levels.

Wannabe mafia shakedown bullshit.

¿Quieres saber más sobre nuestro último estudio?🐺🐕🧬 @carlossarabia.bsky.social y yo te lo contamos en @muyinteresante.com👇 #wolfConsevol @ebdonana.bsky.social @consevol.bsky.social www.muyinteresante.com/fundacion/ca...

Our Evolution of Evolvability work is finally* out! *technically it has been out for a bit, but all of ~this~ bullshit was happening www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Hi We contributed towards the South African Journal of Science Taung Centennial! some links; the special issue: issuu.com/sajs/docs/so... our paper: sajs.co.za/article/view... and I got featured on where I work from Nature Africa if you are interested in that: www.nature.com/articles/d44...

New paper with Sarthak Mishra! Maybe it will bring you some joy given all this (waves arms around). "Estimating recombination using only the allele frequency spectrum" 1/2 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New paper out! 🐺🧬 It was a pleasure to work side by side with @carlossarabia.bsky.social! #wolfConsevol More info👇

Our paper is out! We discovered an introgression from dogs into Iberian wolves (IBGW) that may influence key behavioral genes. Hypotheses: 1. Dogs arrived ca. 17-12kyr ago to Iberia. Did they mix? 2. Wolves suffered a bottleneck in 1970s. Did they mix? 3. Local adaptations? 🧵

So, apparently I live in a BRICS nation and the orange cringy fascist wants to impose a tariff of 100% on Spanish products. thediplomatinspain.com/en/2025/01/2...

Same. I'm happy to find so many contacts and friends from the-app-that-shall-not-be-named... Thanks for those who prepare the starter packs. I hope everyone will eventually move here!

Please re-post: I have a postdoc position open! Helsinki is great and working environment is fantastic! #colours #polymorphism #behavior #experiments #lepidoptera jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...

Feeling great to be here, and finding so many peer scientists!

did you ever need to run many SLiM simulations to understand the behavior of some popgen quantity? i have released a rust-based wrapper for SLiM that takes care of large-scale parallel runs over parameter grids! github.com/EgorLappo/sl... 1/
