Hello, Bluesky! We're the IUCN SSC Parasite Specialist Group, a part of the Species Survival Commission! We're just starting to understand the important roles parasites play in their ecosystems, and our goal is to determine the threats wildlife parasites face and to conserve rare and unique species!

The genetic diversity of Indonesian cattle has been shaped by multiple introductions and adaptive introgression - Nature Communications Indonesian cattle are unique due to their history of admixture involving both zebu and banteng. Here, Wang et al. identify ~3.5 million novel introgressed SNP variants and provide a genomic map of banteng introgression within and across many cattle breeds, each with unique introgression histories.

Our new paper on Indonesian cattle #genomics is out on @natcomms.nature.com ๐ŸŽ‰
Did you know Indonesian #cattle ๐Ÿ‚ were a mix of two species?

I will be recruiting two PhDs for my ERC Project HERDPATH - let's discover out how livestock and pathogens evolved together using #aDNA. Projects will be animal or pathogen focused but will be in dialogue.

Details at my quaint website below. Deadline 3rd October.

Shameless promotion from #isba11 - I'll be hiring PhDs to start early 2026 (plus postdocs starting later), using #adna to study livestock and pathogen coevolution, particularly looking at inbreeding and immune gene evolution!

Something we need to grasp is that Establishment power meant imperialism. Imperialism is a system of thought that sees upper class white men as the pinnacle of humanity, with a sacred duty to control the lives of others. What we now call the far right is an extension and revival of imperialism.

On the horizon: climate-induced inflation and the price of food Read our new report on the rising phenomenon of "climateflation," analysing how climate-related shocks around the globe are set to significantly drive up food prices in the UK.

"The UK imports nearly 50% of its food, making it highly dependent on international supply chains, particularly from Europe.

#Climate shocks in key export regions like Spain, France, and Brazil could disrupt imports and further exacerbate inflation."

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure.
It's capital.
The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

In a first, Google has released data on how much energy an AI prompt uses Itโ€™s the most transparent estimate yet from one of the big AI companies, and a long-awaited peek behind the curtain for researchers.

Ooh, look. When we covered the climate impacts of machine learning (โ€œAIโ€) on Rare Earth in June we found it really frustrating that none of the tech companies would tell anyone the water and energy costs. Now Google has made at least some of it public. More of this! (and preferably raw data too).
