Are genetic drift and inbreeding the same thing? Does it ever happen to you that the more you try to understand something, the more difficult to understand it turns out to be? Recently, I’ve had such a problem with two of the very basic microevol…

This aged like wine. But also seems like I haven't moved far from the struggles of almost 10 years younger me as a PhD student.

Nothing tests your collaboration like trying to agree on how to explain inbreeding. See what our great team of promising tenure-seeking scientists came up with

Q&A: inbreeding and its implications for conservation - BMC Biology Inbreeding depression plays a role in the decline, endangerment, and extinction of small populations, and thus inbreeding has received much attention in conservation biology. The term inbreeding is us...

All those questions about inbreeding in conservation that you were afraid to ask.

A bunch of early career scientists is here to explain something that even Wright and Fisher couldn't agree on, the (not so) simple question of what is inbreeding.

Colossal's plans to "de-extinct" the giant moa are still impossible After a controversial project claiming to have resurrected the dire wolf, Colossal Biosciences has now announced plans to bring back nine species of the extinct moa bird

My wall is basically news articles about moa de-extinction and people ranting about it.

But I live for the stoic headlines from the New Scientist. After 'No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction' comes...

Better late than never - our group is on bsky as @popgendk.bsky.social 💙

And coming in big style, with nothing less than a new @nature.com study!

Thanks @sebastianrvh.bsky.social! We're only getting started and more opportunities might arise along the way, so get in touch when you're about to finish your PhD.

Hello new followers, this is the last day to apply for my postdoc position on genomics of the ivory trade!

A screen shot of the banner for The Ice Age starter pack, displaying a selection of seven account images from the list against a blue watermarked background of the same images. Text reads: JOIN THE CONVERSATION. The Ice Age 🦣. On Bluesky

I couldn’t find one, so I have started a Quaternary/Ice Age starter pack.

It’s a real faff 😹 and so it is da work in progress, so please message me if you want to be added.

Listen to Kamil, he's not wrong.

Good old days of summer '13 and endless discussion of 3 young naive scientists in the making. 🤍

One more week... apply by November 25!

Let´s form a community of conservation geneticists here - I started with some people I know, but there are likely to be many more... I can happily add them to this list

With all the new people migrating into BlueSky, we have created a small starter pack for aDNA (and other molecules) researchers. go.bsky.app/F4EPLJh 🧪🏺 #evosky #PaleoSky
