I’m happy to share our new paper about the paleoecology and paleobiogeogrpahy of Pleistocene South America 🥳 (+) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jq…

Really happy to see paper one of my PhD out today in Nature Communications. We develop a deep learning framework for estimating diversity from fossil data 🤿 🦣🐚 Many thanks to Joseph Flannery Sutherland and Daniele Silvestro for the collaboration nature.com/articles/s4146…

Happy to share this contribution of evolution of guanacos in South America in a extreme latitudinal distribution Fabiola León Desarrollo Sustentable UC Dirección de Investigación UC

Do you use Local Ancestry Inference (LAI)? Wanna know how much error to expect given source divergence or time since admixture? Wanna apply LAI to your aDNA study but have only one high-coverage ancient individual that could represent a specific ancestry? Check out our new paper:

Hiring alert! we are looking for a post-doctoral researcher in bioinformatics focused on the analysis of ancient horse genomes This is your chance to join the fantastic HorsePower team and ERC Synergy project (horsepowerproject.org) See the advert below emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR…

An important development for whole genome inference of phylogenetics: Accurate, scalable, and fully automated inference of species trees from raw genome assemblies using ROADIES biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Avoidable false PSMC population size peaks occur across numerous studies biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_evobio

‼️These #PSMC #peaks are #artifacts‼️ Seen #PSMC results like this🤔? They are caused by ill-set parameters, #very #common, and #easy #to #solve! For details see 🧵& biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thank you Katerina Guschanski Michael Hiller Regev Schweiger Trevor Cousins Axel Jensen ! 🙂

Come and work with us on #population_genomics of dolphins and pilot whales 🐬🐋 in the Arctic/North Atlantic: setur.totalview.cloud/recruitment/Va… postdoc position based at the University of the Faroe Islands with possible visits at the Globe Institute, Copenhagen and GINR in Nuuk, Greenland

Out in Evolutionary Applications: led by Emily Cavill we show how Seychelles magpie robins lost genetic diversity and accumulated genetic load due to a bottleneck. New populations were established, but lost diversity is v hard to recover, risking long-term survival. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ev…

It’s finally out! 🥳 Today @cellcellpress we report non-mineral fossils of ancient chromosomes in skin from a woolly mammoth that died in Siberia, 52,000 years ago. 🦣💨 Don’t miss our thread below! 🧵👇🏽

Our new research in @NatureEcolEvol reveals important differences in timing but NOT location of #extinctions of moa. Finds that #NewZealand flightless #birds are retreating to these ancient graveyards. Check it out👇 doi.org/10.1038/s41559… #ecology #Conservation #biodiversity
