@inesmiranda.bsky.social📢 New preprint out on @biorxiv-evobio.bsky.social! In this work, we look at patterns of ancient mitochondrial and nuclear introgression among hare species in Europe! 🧬🐇 Read more here ⬇️ doi.org/10.64898/202...
Show Post📢New paper in @journal-evo.bsky.social! This work expands our understanding of seasonal camouflage polymorphism, dissecting the genetic basis of winter colour variation (white and brown morphs) in the long-tailed weasel (Neogale frenata). Paper here ⬇️ doi.org/10.1093/evol... 1/5
Show PostThat’s two down! The 2nd paper of my #PhD thesis is out in Scientific Reports! 🎓 In Serra d’Arga, +80% of the #wolf's diet is horse. We used #non-invasive #genetics and #GPS to identify herds at risk and propose #conservation and #management solutions! 🐺 📄 Full paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Show PostThis work was led by postdoc @inesmiranda.bsky.social as part of her PhD thesis, with @marcelaalvarenga.bsky.social, @lovedalen.bsky.social, @meloferreiraj.bsky.social, and remaining co-authors!
Show Post📢New paper in @commsbio.nature.com! In our new work on seasonal camouflage in least weasels, we show the functional impact of an MC1R mutation underlying adaptive winter colour and dissect its origin & evolution. Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s42... See the thread by @inesmiranda.bsky.social! ⬇️
