New paper out in Journal of Ornithology
We investigate the genetic structure of the Eurasian Stone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus), identifying distinct lineages with important conservation implications.

Maintaining genetic diversity is vital for species survival - but how do we measure it?

#ConservationGenetics #TurningScienceIntoAction
🧬Last week at @ebdonana.bsky.social ’s Science & Tech Week, we walked students through #ConservationGenetics — from alleles and diversity to drift, fitness, and genetic rescue — using the #Iberianlynx in an interactive demo.
Great to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm for conservation science 🐾
In this article, Ferreira da Silva et al discuss their work using miniaturized laboratory equipment and #DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species.🧬🐾 Learn more at doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

🧬 Can genetics reveal the hidden impacts of #InvasiveSpecies? Using nuclear and mtDNA with Bayesian modelling, this study tests whether #genetic data can detect past demographic impacts of invasions. 🐟

Of course I should also have tagged this #ICCB2025 thread with #consgen and #ConservationGenetics…
Herman Morales presenting a slide titled Honeyeater time-lagged genetic diversity loss
Finally, @hernmoral.bsky.social shared depressing examples of genetic diversity loss in severely bottlenecked birds. He cautioned about time-lagged loss of genetic diversity after apparent recovery: it takes time to see genomic effects of bottleneck & these can affect fitness #ConservationGenetics
Laura Bertola presenting a slide titled A species-wide baseline of lion diversity and its application for an ex situ breeding program
Next, @lauradbertola.bsky.social spoke about genetic diversity in lions, and how baseline data from wild populations is being used to inform management & breeding of captive populations (which have uncertain and potentially admixed origins) #ConservationGenetics
Carolyn Hogg presenting a slide titled The Age of Genomics is here
Carolyn Hogg outlined Australia’s Threatened Species Initiative (TSI) and showed how genomics has contributed to Tasmanian devil conservation over many years. Check out the TSI website for online #ConservationGenetics training resources. The age of genomics is here! (3/5)
Christina Hvilsom presenting a slide titled “Genetic diversity of wild species” which outlines the inclusion of genetic diversity in CBD Global Biodiversity Framework’s Goal A and Target 4. Not the most flattering photo of Christina - sorry!
Christina Hvilsom spoke about biobanking for biodiversity, and the importance of genetic diversity for wild species. We can do lots of great things now with genomics, but we need to make sure the right samples are available and appropriately maintained. #ConservationGenetics
Graduated… now off to find a post doc in conservation genetics! #popgen #conservationgenetics #fishandsals
