What do evolution and adaptation have to do with predicting vulnerability to climate change? Find out in our new paper led by the amazing Dr. @brennaforester.bsky.social and featuring the WORLD'S COOLEST 🐸 just published in Molecular Ecology: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...! #congen

What can genome sequence data reveal about population viability? (And equally important, what CAN'T it reveal??) These are key questions that @martykardos.bsky.social, Lukas Keller, and I address in our new paper in a Molecular Ecology special issue: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... #congens

Lukas Keller, Chris Funk, and furry toothy friend.

Cucurbita pepo is one of the oldest domesticated species. Over millennia, it has proved astoundingly versatile. Just as Brassica oleracea gave us broccoli, kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts etc, C. pepo morphed into the pumpkin, zucchini, delicata, pattypan, acorn, yellow squash and more!

A watercolor illustration showing the modern cultivars of squash descended from the ancestral Cucurbita pepo. C. pepo is in the middle, depicted as a round-ish speckled squash ripening from green to yellow-orange. Acorn squash, zucchini, pumpkin, delicata, pattypan, and yellow squash surround it in a circle, each connected to C. pepo by a line, like spokes in a wheel. Illustration by Ferris Jabr.

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 go.bsky.app/VMqVSAi

Protection of the genetic diversity within species is a crucial component of biodiversity conservation. Recently, new indicators have been developed to help monitor #GeneticDiversity. We evaluated these indicators in >900 species from 9 countries, using existing genetic and non-genetic data #consgen

Multinational evaluation of genetic diversity indicators for the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

We assess two genetic indicators for 919 taxa, representing 5271 populations in nine countries, including megadiverse countries and developing economies. The majority of taxa assessed (83%) had data ...
