#NotíciaIRBio 🪶Un nou estudi analitza la hibridació entre la baldriga balear amb la baldriga mediterrània i el seu impacte en la diversitat genòmica, clau per a millorar les estratègies de conservació.🌊 🔗https://shorturl.at/ss6rL #Conservació #BaldrigaBalear #Biodiversitat #UICN 📷@KirkZuflet

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

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

10/10 None of this would have been possible without the contribution of all our great collaborators: Cristian Cuevas-Caballé, Francesco Giannelli, @josieparis.bsky.social, Karen Bourgeois, @emitruc.bsky.social, Jacob González-Solís, Marta Riutort, @joanferrerobiol.bsky.social & @jrozasub.bsky.social

Genome Size Reduction Under Non-Adaptive Evolution: How Evolution Halved Genome Size During an Oceanic Island Radiation. Today talk by Sara Guirao-Rico in @eseb2025.bsky.social congress, and accepted ms. in MBE academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-...

Great talk of @jrozasub.bsky.social about genomic basis of convergent dietary specialization in Dysdera species 🕷️, last week at the #SEG2025. With @biophotoist.bsky.social, @irbio-ub.bsky.social, @geneticsub.bsky.social, @ub.edu, @ull.es, @biogeneurope.bsky.social, @ergabiodiv.bsky.social

Second dissection and processing of new Dysdera curvisetae samples for sequencing with #Silvia_Juan, #Marta_Olive. #Nuria_Macias, #Sara_Guirao, @ub.edu, @ull.es, @geneticsub.bsky.social, @molevolub.bsky.social, @biogeneurope.bsky.social,

In five years, SARS-CoV-2 became one of the most closely examined viruses on the planet. A feature in Nature outlines four lessons from the pandemic that some say could empower the global response to future pandemics. 🧪

Resulting from an @snsf-ch.bsky.social SPARK grant this took some time to mature, but the outcome is very imformative and builds a foundation for where to head next - how to liberate facts/information locked in the published literature #textmining #biodiversity preprints.arphahub.com/article/1531...

Presenting our BGE’s spider Dysdera curvisetae case study to the community of researchers at the bi-annual meeting XXIV SGPE @segenetica.bsky.social. Talk given by @jrozasub.bsky.social from @ub.edu.

Viernes 17 de Enero. Último día en el parador de #Mazagon, nos despedimos de este #SGPE2025 hablando de #drosophila #arabidopsis #truchas y mucho más . Un seminario que sin duda deja huella. Un placer para #SEG seguir apoyando estás reuniones de grupos tan necesarias para nuestra sociedad.

@segenetica.bsky.social Empezamos 2025 con muchas ganas de seguir creciendo, este año celebramos nuestro XLIV Congreso de la Sociedad Española de Genética en la preciosa ciudad de Cartagena👏 🗓️Reserva las fechas 8-11 Julio 2025 ¡Te esperamos! 🌐Mantente al día de las novedades: seg2025.segenetica.es

Mensaje de Pablo Vargas Como todos los años por estas fechas os regalamos el pdf de un tratado en español sobre la clasificación de los seres vivos. Por favor, re-enviadlo a quien consideréis. bit.ly/3tZelyx

En respuesta a las recientes declaraciones antievolucionistas de Jaime Mayor Oreja, desde la Junta Directiva de la SESBE hemos escrito esta carta abierta. #evolución 👇 drive.google.com/file/d/10p_4...

Reflejos de Stokksnes. Con muchas ganas de volver a Islandia a vivir estos momentos. Stokksnes reflections. Looking forward to returning to Iceland to live these moments. #northernlights #nightphotography #Iceland #photography #nature #landscape #longexposure

¿Nos vemos en Mazagón del 15 al 17 de enero? El XXIV Seminario Genética de Poblaciones y Evolución te espera. 🗓️ Recuerda que tienes hasta el 30 de noviembre para hacer la inscripción a precio reducido y enviar tu abstract. 🌐https://sgpe2025.segenetica.es

I found this hirsute spider hunting on a termite mound at night. Looked a bit like a wolf spider from a distance, but guessing it's in the family Trechaleidae or Ctenidae, based on the eye pattern.

Upon public demand, spider macros! Let’s kick it off with one of my favorite! #nature #photography

How to write a grant? 1. The application is for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....

Happy publication day to Charles #Darwin for On the Origin of Species published #OTD 1859 🥳 (And a day of inspiration for all who struggle to finish their books...) #hpbio #HPS #EvoBio

This is the last chapter of Paula Escuer @pescuer.bsky.social PhD, published in Molecular Ecology, about Dysdera silvatica, an endemic spider from the Canary Islands. Another step to understand the genomics underlying adaptive radiations in island ecosystems. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

hat are the dynamics of #hybridisation between the Critically Endangered Balearic shearwater and the closely related Yelkouan shearwater? Check out our new preprint out on www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... where we investigate the causes/consequences of pervasive gene flow between these species.
