Sujet de stage M2 sur la "dock mussel", cet écotype de moules hybrides qui habite dans les ports. L'objectif est de tester si la dock mussel s’est adaptée grâce à sa variance génétique d’admixture ou si l’admixture n’est que le corolaire du contact secondaire entre les deux espèces parentales.

Graphic saying "marine biology career advice: ask us anything"

I keep seeing the same questions asked in marine biology career advice groups. So along with some colleagues, I'm trying to compile a bunch of common questions and answer them all at once. Please share widely with anyone who might have questions!

FYI - Harvard law graduates alone comprise 8% of the federal judiciary

This will have massive downstream consequences on descriptive representation in the courts in 15-20 yrs

I will never, ever get over this.

🦪 Out yesterday some genome-wide work on the native European flat oyster , <i>Ostrea edulis</i>. Once widespread along European coasts but is now functionally extinct due to overfishing and disease. Threads 1/n 🦪

Yea, can’t find an already one week published paper 🫡

Hello Michael, can I join this one?

Hey Chris, can I join too? Hope you’re good!

My very first publication here and for a great reason 🎉
It was lovely to interact with @homerej.bsky.social during my time at the Technical University of Denmark. It is even better to see his article now out 🦪 🧬 📄

I have a fully funded PhD position in my lab on developmental genetics/evolution of gut development in lampreys + in vitro culture development. Get in touch if keen (see flyer 👇) and please share widely. Open to all nationalities. Funded through NorthWestBio DTP: www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate...

Genome‐Wide Population Structure in a Marine Keystone Species, the European Flat Oyster (Ostrea edulis) Ostrea edulis, the European flat oyster, was once a widespread economically and ecologically important marine species, but has suffered dramatic declines over the past two centuries. Consequently, th...

Partners are not yet(?) on Bsky.
Thanks to all of them for providing oysters: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

likewise! Actel is getting massive! Congrats!

🦪Almost forgot.Interested in your local pop of oyster level of inbreeding? All good if you ain't dutch ;)

These large chromosomal inversions house variants potentially shielded from local extirpation following translocations. They provide another layer of information for conservation management of the species.
That plus more in the full article: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
5/n

The populations still show an isolation by distance pattern with 6-7 main clusters, plus some extremely divergent populations in Norway—most likely due to no gene flow and genetic drift. 4/n

We sampled all over the natural range of the species (thanks to many partners). We found a lack of a signal from oyster translocation efforts and some segregating inversions that may be associated with adaptation. 3/n

We looked into the impact of translocations on the few wild populations left. Translocations were numerous and extensive throughout European countries. Even the Romans were moving oyster spat from productive areas in the Adriatic to oyster farms in sheltered lagoons along the Italian coast! 2/n

Thanks a lot!

Hej Jacob, can I join that low Ne Wolfpack?hehe

Would love to be added too David🫡🫡

GitHub - pdimens/harpy: Process raw haplotagging data, from raw sequences to phased haplotypes, batteries included. Process raw haplotagging data, from raw sequences to phased haplotypes, batteries included. - pdimens/harpy

Harpy v1.0 is officially out and... YOU DON'T NEED DATA. You read that right, you don't need data to get started. It now includes a genomic variant and linked-read simulator, so all you need is a haploid genome and you can simulate the rest to try out haplotag analysis 😁

Darwin’s Origin was frequently (if unfairly) criticized as being a theory of the origin of species with the origin of species left out. I don’t know who said it first, but I’d guess it wasn’t long after its 1859 publication. I wonder if Dana was (consciously or not) calling back.

Higher mortality is not a universal cost of dispersal: doi.org/10.1086/726220

Our 32-year study of African wild dogs shows that dispersing individuals actually face lower mortality compared to residents. Time to rethink some of the long-held assumptions on cost of dispersal.
