And posters by Daniela Souza-Costa (no. 286) about #populationgenomics of #cichlids, Charlotte Huyghe (no. 486) about #digestiveadaptations in chichlids, and Fabrizia Ronco (no. 829) about #introgression in chichlids! [3/3]

#SMBE23 also don't miss my colleagues contributions: Talks by Antoine Fages in symposium 27 about #dietaryadaptations of #cichlids and Maxime Policarpo (symposium 12) about #chemoreceptorgenes in vertebrates. [2/3]
You’re at #SMBE23? Interested in #denovomutation rates, #speciesdiversity, or #cichlids? Come to my poster no.1 (!) in session 18 in the castle prison tomorrow! [1/3]

Evolution and GenomicsWorkshop on Population and Speciation Genomics - Evolution and GenomicsThe Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics takes place biennially at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Český Krumlov in Czech Republic, alternating with the Workshop on Phylogenomics. It brings together an ...

Essential ingredients of the workshop series are not only state-of-the-art bioinformatic methodology, an outstanding faculty, and networking activities, but also a less quantifiable ‘je ne sais quoi’ that we came to love. [3/4]

The #WPSG – Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics – has its roots in the Woods Hole Workshop on Molecular Evolution that took place for the first time in 1988! [2/4]
In 2010, I visited an @Evomics workshop in #CeskyKrumlov for the first time. In 2016, we started our own #evomics series: the #WPSG. This is the story that reflects on the ingredients that make these workshops so enjoyable and successful: https://evolution-outreach.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12052-023-00182-w [1/4]
#Hybridization and #introgression can boost #speciation, but hybridization may also cause loss of #biodiversity - how do species avoid this “dark side of introgression”? Discuss with us @m_matschiner in our symposium no.3 at #SMBE2023 in sunny Italy! https://www.smbe2023.org/

Collaboration between nature managers and scientists is critical and provides the knowledge that supports the design and monitoring of management actions. Collaborative instruments such as the #EUCOST Action #GBiKE (Genomic Biodiversity Knowledge for Resilient Ecosystems) foster such collaborations and knowledge exchange.

Genomic tools can be used to assess genetic diversity relevant to conservation and management and can support management actions to effectively achieve management objectives associated with ecosystem services. [3/4]

The loss of biodiversity has implications for ecosystem services – the benefits that ecosystems provide to people (e.g., pollination). High genetic diversity allows species to adapt and be resilient over the long term, providing sustainable ecosystem services. [2/4]
Together with colleagues from the #GBiKE network funded through #EUCOST, we have analyzed the application of genomic tools for #conservation and management of #biodiversity and #ecosystemservices. Our findings and advice on how #geneticdiversity information can be used more effectively to manage nature #sustainably are summarized in a review article published in #BiologicalConservation: https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1gMma1R~eOyc8 [1/4]
Just changed over from mas.to, so time for #introduction. I am a #biologist interested in #evolution and #conservation using population and speciation genomic tools. Currently, I’m in Switzerland @unibasel, funded through a @MSCActions fellowship, studying determinants of #geneticdiversity with a focus on #lifehistorytraits and #mutationrates.
