@alecchristensen.bsky.social et al. evaluated the ability of commercially available medium-density and high-density SNP arrays for white-tailed deer to accurately identify genetically related individuals within a wild population. 🦌 Learn more in #G3journal: 🔗 buff.ly/gau5c1f

Happy to share my first publication! In short, we compared two genotyping arrays for estimating relatedness and tested sensitivity to data filtering. The medium-density array was more robust, and a subset of loci with no missing data gave the most accurate and efficient results. See link below!

Fun to announce @alecchristensen.bsky.social defended his MS thesis yesterday in the Environmental and Conservation Sciences program. Looking forward to helping chapters get out and to see what he does as he goes off to do his PhD at West Viriginia University (Advisor fail for not getting a photo)

I have a PhD position open to start fall semester 2025! The position will include investigations of the structure of both phenotypic (behavioral) plasticity and genetic variation in behavior as well as lots of opportunity to develop your own project. #Evolution #evobio #evolsky #Ecology 🧪

hey everyone! i made a list of some useful starter packs (primarily biology/earth sciences with a few bonus things thrown in) to share with friends who have joined bsky in the last week and thought it may be useful for some people here too! 🌍🧪 #SciSky #BioSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...

With hopefully submitting my thesis next spring I am starting my search for a PhD position. I have broad interests in most wildlife related topics & experience in #rstats, #cwd, #bioninformatics, and #GIS. Would appreciate to hear about any upcoming opportunities! #phdchat

A thread of #ConservationJobs (and career resources) in conservation-related science, policy, practice, communication, etc. I'll add to it over time. Focus will be mostly in Canada, with occasional posts for other parts of the world. Share job ads with me and I'll link here. 🌎🧪
