Our paper is out! 📣 we find that molecular measures of genetic variation do not predict heritable genetic variation across species - important implications for the application of genomic data for conservation! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Just in time for #SMBE2026, our new preprint is out: using 130 genomes spanning ~200 years, fitness data and simulations, we show that conservation rescued the Mauritius kestrel from extinction, but not from genomic erosion. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #popgen #consgen #conservation

#SMBE2026 day 2 is ongoing! The day started with a great talk by @emmateeling.bsky.social on why understanding bat evolution is crucial for human health. The symposia are now starting. We wish everyone a great first full day of the meeting!
