This article is part of the Conservation Genomics collection at BMC Biology which we joined... in 2024. Haha. Thanks to the editors and reviewers for bearing with us ๐Ÿฅฐ

I think the #consgen people will enjoy reading some of the works in this collection. Dig in!

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...

Our Q&A article on inbreeding for conservation is out in BMC Biology!

We discuss some important key concepts related to inbreeding in the light of new genomic tools and what it means for conservation when we want to improve species survival.

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?

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.
