Sadly, the conservation outlook for #BiałowieżaForest World Heritage Site is now "critical" largely on account of state border barriers, #militarization and breakdown in #transboundary cooperation. The IUCN released the assessment some days ago: worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/explore-site...

Exciting news!
The next #PopGroup meeting will take place in Lille 🍟, France, 7–9 January 2026 – just 1 hour by train from London, Brussels, and Paris.

This year, PopGroup will also host ALPHY, the annual meeting of Evolutionary Genomics.

See you there !

hey bluesky 👋 visa hurdles mean I’m looking for opportunities outside the US. I’m a computational biologist (bacterial + phage genomics, postdoc in Koonin’s group @ NIH). I am interested in teaming up on funding apps. reach out if this resonates!

🦣🍖🧬 Fully funded 3-yr PhD in palaeogenomics & bioinformatics! Help me push non-model palaeogenomes beyond their limits @DTU in Denmark.

Start: Feb 2026 (flexible)
Application deadline: 24 Oct 2025

Lovely!

Similar downgrading is planned in Poland but we'll see how it comes out.

I am looking for a postdoc! Pls share

Fantastic. I missed it somehow 🫤

First snow in Warsaw yesterday. Sadly, most of it has melted already.

Add me too, please.

I'd like to be added if I qualify

First post on Bluesky, let’s share some websites offering many free illustrations for scientific figures 🖼️ 🧪 🌍 :

We’re excited to consider applicants for scholarships for our 2025 Biology of Vector-borne Diseases course! See our advert below. Please re-skeet to trainees and colleagues, as graduate students to faculty and practitioners across plant, animal and human health can apply.

I thought the influx of new BSkyers was a good reason to repost that I am co-editing a Collection at BMC Biology on " #Evolution of #Immunity". If you work on any of the topics listed in the link below, please consider submitting! 🦠🧪🪰

Estimating the Effective Size of European Wolf Populations Molecular methods are routinely used to estimate the effective size of populations (Ne). However, underlying model assumptions are frequently violated to an unknown extent. Although simulations can d....

We used the Central Europan wolf monitoring database to calibrate molecular Ne estimating methods with Ne derived from life-history traits.
This shows the number of wolf packs is a good approximation of the effective size.

Today, this logo miraculously appeared at our house. Is it a sign? Should I reject #Linux and set back on the right path?

I am looking for a graduate student and a postdoc to join my group! We are a computational group working on understanding evolution in natural populations with a large emphasis on the microbiome. Please get in touch by dm or email! garud.eeb.ucla.edu

I'm looking to recruit a PhD student beginning in Fall 2024 to develop theory and methods for studying genotype-by-environment interactions. We're specifically interested in how GxE is affected by phenomena such as habitat choice. Please share and get in touch ASAP if interested!
