I started today my new position as Ramon y Cajal fellow at @biologiaub.bsky.social #Zoology section at the #BEECA department will be my home for the next 5 years. The InvAdapt Lab is starting, be prepared!

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

1/10 We are thrilled to announce that our new paper on conservation genomics of the Balearic shearwater has just been published online at @pnas.org! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The second shows the first case of interspecific hybridisation of freshwater planarians using genomic data. The diversity of species on the island of Corsica is also shown to be higher than previously thought. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social

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