Two former PhD students from my lab have led this great work, @martaalvarez.bsky.socialand Jordi Paps. How proud I feel, Congratulations!

No us ho perdeu, inscriviu-vos ja al 2on Congrés de la Iniciativa Catalana per l’#EarthBiogenomeProject! @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social

🧬A recent PNAS study reveals that the hybridization between the Balearic shearwater (Puffinus mauretanicus) and the Mediterranean shearwater (Puffinus yelkouan) has been key to maintain the genetic diversity and evolutionary capacity of this critically endangered seabird 1/2 doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

🧬 Aquest estudi liderat per @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social, ha estat possible gràcies al 1r #referencegenome seqüenciat en el marc del CBP @riutortlab.bsky.social @jrozasub.bsky.social 💪 Al CBP seguirem treballant per posar la genòmica al servei de la biodiversitat.

Don’t miss this paper by @jrozasub.bsky.social group, with interesting findings on genome size evolution on a 🕷️’s radiation on oceanic 🏝️ Moreover, they present the complete genome of Dysdera catalonica included in the @catbiogenoma.bsky.social project @irbio-ub.bsky.social @geneticsub.bsky.social

🪶 Nova publicació a @pnas.org: l'hibridació de la baldriga balear amb la baldriga mediterrània ha estat decisiva per mantenir la diversitat genètica i reduir el risc d’extinció. @giaranega.bsky.social 👉 www.biogenoma.cat/la-hibridaci...

A third paper comes out. I want to stress that sequencing and annnotating the complete genome of the Balearic shearwater, under the umbrella of the @catbiogenoma.bsky.social, has been key to develope this work. Showing how the efforts of the @ebpgenome.bsky.social will help biodiversity conservation

We are eagerly waiting to see you back home at the @biologiaub.bsky.social faculty @ub.edu ! 🎉🎊

New paper out. Back to land planarians... We analyse the distribution of C. bergi in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Thanks to Marina, @riutortlab.bsky.social , Fernando, and Ricard. Paving the way to my new lab starting in few weeks and focusing on land planarians. academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/a...

Two papers in a row. We are happy to share our two recent publications. One dealing with the cryptic biodiversity of a terrestrial planarian in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: doi.org/10.1093/zool.... @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social @martaalvarez.bsky.social @zoojlinnsoc.bsky.social

Mothership of Dendrocoelum lacteum found today. We need some for our DNA barcoding shenanigans so I left my den for unexpected fieldwork today. Temperatures were rather hostile but worms are just fine. #WormWednesday 🌿 #invertebrate
