- Congratulations to @robynshaw.bsky.social, @cegrueber.bsky.social, and too many other friends to list here on this important paper in @nature.com on the global extent of genetic diversity loss. It was a pleasure discussing it w/ Elizabeth Pennisi from @science.org. www.science.org/content/arti...
- Reposted by W. Chris FunkOur long term project has finally been published - genetic diversity is lost worldwide, but we can also make a difference and conservation actions matters. Find out more in the Science news here www.science.org/content/arti... #Consgen

- 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
- EXCITING BONUS: This paper presents the first published reference genome for the remarkable tailed frog (Ascaphus truei) from the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Along with its closest living relatives, New Zealand's Leiopelma, it forms a clade that represents the most basal lineage of all living frogs!

- 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
