🚨PhD position available!🚨🧪 I am seeking a talented PhD student to join my ERC StG project GEMINI, to explore the exciting world of vertebrate genomics and comparative genomics, seeking to understand the genomics of miniaturisation! 🦇🦎🦜🐸🐟🦈 🤏🧬 Deadline: 4 Jan 2026! employment.ku.dk/phd?show=153...

Lovely science communication on plant roots from the Dinneny lab 🌱

Really appreciate this clear summary of our work - thank you @plantteaching.bsky.social !🌳

Look what my amazing colleagues did! Early Triassic bonebed at Svalbard shows recovery after mass extinction🥳 @aubronectes.bsky.social

Is it possible to estimate rates of phenotypic evolution that are independent of the time interval covered by the data? In theory, yes — even when the data are incomplete and biased. But in practice? Not so much. Amazing work by @vildebruhn.bsky.social

i am offering a post-doc position in my brand-new project TreeGD that will investigate genomic diversity of trees species in switzerland, with a special focus on gene conservation units, rare species (but not only), and seeds stands. apply.refline.ch/273855/1782/...

Too warm to buzz? Check out our newest paper on how warming temperatures affect bee buzzes in the Arctic. Well done to Charlie and Guadalupe and other coauthors for this nice study in the Swedish Arctic! @hfspo.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧪🌾PAPER - What makes a tree a tree?🧬 Read the paper by @siribirkeland.bsky.social and @trhvidsten.bsky.social with contributions from several UPSC researchers. By comparing dozens of genomes, they offer fresh insights into the genetic foundations of woodiness and perenniality in angiosperms.

Tree evolution is surprisingly quirky! 🌳 Trees are likely ancestral in many plant groups, often re-evolve on islands, and Arabidopsis can be made tree-like by tweaking a few genes. We revisited what genes really make a tree a tree using comparative genomics. @trhvidsten.bsky.social #trees #evolution

I’m very surprised that the frequently discussed topic of repeated adaptation through the same molecular pathways hadn’t been summarised in a review before. But that has now changed, and that’s a good thing. Thank you @siribirkeland.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/genet...

Come to beautiful Copenhagen for the SMBE conference next summer! Call for symposia is now OPEN! smbe2026.org 🧪
