Rapid evolution for drought tolerance in Mimulus driven by standing genetic variation and a bit of luck. Another example highlighting the need for large populations and ample genetic diversity.

Two rivers meet in Kaunas 🇱🇹 — so does science 🔬
The #GENOA #COST Action met here to unite multidimensional data, scientists & policy to protect #biodiversity 🌿
Genetic diversity is key - GENOA is co-creating tools, building capacity and trust & turning knowledge into action 🧬 💪

Stephanie Kamel, professor in the Department of Biology and Marine Biology at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, and I'm the genomics lead on this project.
So, in some meadows challenged by higher temperatures, a small number of plants have been mutating or changing genomically.

Great write up of our study showing that both extrinsic factors (e.g. habitat availability) and intrinsic traits (e.g. body mass and diet) play important roles in shaping patterns of genomic diversity in birds 🦜 🧬 🌏

Effective population size is a key ingredient in indicators used to monitor genetic #biodiversity – and a fundamental concept in population genetics.
But what is it, really? 🧬 We try to explain in our new blog post ⬇️

Finally published! We first uploaded this preprint in 2022 but dropped it after frustrating reviews.
It was well received and cited, motivating us to revisit it.
We added new content, including simulations and a proof-of-concept genomic green status assessment.

We have compiled a special issue for @evolappjournal.bsky.social on Effective population size in Conservation and Biodiversity Monitoring, dedicated to the late Michael W. Bruford.
This SI is a must read for everyone who struggles with what "effective population size" means.

In the orig paper we made substantial efforts to cite relevant literature to this effect. Today we published a reply to Wilcox et al. expanding on how ethical and governance considerations were intended in our discussion. www.nature.com/articles/s44... #consgen 4/4

🧬 We use whole-genome data to investigate patterns of admixture, genetic diversity, and inbreeding in zoo giraffes, informed by reference data from wild populations—and show why genomics matters for better ex situ conservation decisions.

Work by Bell, Kovach, Whiteley and colleagues demonstrates that even inbred trout source populations can be used for genetic rescue. Great news for folks considering translocation efforts, but are faced with the challenge of identifying suitable (genetically diverse) donor populations #ConsGen
