Our paper 'Genetic diversity loss in the Anthropocene' is out in Science Magazine!

We study how genetic diversity is lost by habitat loss to help define UN Biodiversity #Sustainable targets

Lol this dude just flying absolutely ludicrous distances

Claw of a dung beetle, Anoplotrupes stercorosus.

The Southern Arc papers are now published in Science Magazine

The study was originally conceived as the joint genetic history of the neighboring regions of West Asia and Southeastern Europe but there were just too many interesting findings to fit in one paper, so we have three!

Revising the paradigm: Are bats really pathogen reservoirs or do they possess an efficient immune system? iScience. 2022 Jul 19;25(8):104782 doi.org/10.1016/j.isci… #batpapers

I'm delighted to announce that Seb 🌱🌿☘️🌱's new free online course on understanding #nature in #cities is now available. Please do share widely. Great for schools and university students, as well as for the interested public. #MOOC #botany #health

A US biotech firm has joined the effort to bring back the #thylacine . I understand the sentiment of wanting thylacines to not be extinct, particularly as it was effectively a deliberate #extinction - the motivation to right that wrong is immense. But... 🧵

Feeling Happy!!! My second Ph.D. chapter was published in PNAS. We explore one of the most splendid diversifications of carnivores. Great teamwork. I am fortunate to have such great coauthors and a great mentor.

Our latest paper on #bats , #urbanroosts and #ectoparasites provides evidence of parasite #spillover between sympatric species. Urban bats need more roosts!
