Happy Pride Month from the Society for Marine Mammalogy and the SMM LGBTQ+ subcommittee! Marine Mammalogy Kim Parsons Allison Payne @KeithMHernandez @philipmorin4 Morgan McCarthy #DiversityInSTEM #QueerInSTEM #PrideInSTEM #PrideInScience #LGBTQIAInSTEM #PrideInMarineMammalogy

Only three days left to submit abstracts for the EPIC Conference in Copenhagen. Early career researchers are especially encouraged to apply. See you there for two days of evolutionary and population genetics talks! #EPICdk23 Abstracts due 15 June - popgen.dk/epic/

📢🐋🧬I’m looking for a job. I have a #PhD in #eDNA and #marinemammals, fluent in the related #field/ #laboratory workflow and #metabarcoding pipelines. Based in Denmark so I’m opened to #local, #remote/#hybrid options and will consider relocating if the position fits. RT pls :)

Really interesting paper! Beichman et al. 2023. Genomic analyses reveal range-wide devastation of sea otter populations. ( Molecular Ecology from the cover ) Ancient DNA, demographic inference, pop genomics, and sea otters ! (📸 wikimedia) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Congrats Emily Ruiz-Puerta for all your efforts on this project!

Are current Acoustic Harassment/Deterrent Devices too powerful for mitigation? 🚨New Paper by lab alumni Siri Elmegaard shows wild harbour porpoises will startle & flee when exposed to low received levels from these devices! 🔊🐬➡️ Read more here:🔗t.ly/Cv974

📣 Call for Abstracts #Gtoe2024 in Lisbon, 🇵🇹: While waiting to register between 30 Oct-30 Nov, we invite you to consult the list of approved sessions (20 themes + free), and to select where to submit abstracts for paper (1) and poster (up to 2). soctropecol-conference.eu/index.php?cat=…

Am 5.12 gibt es den ersten Englisch-sprachigen Ocean Chat. Morgan McCarthy (Morgan McCarthy) von der Kopenhagener Universität (Globe Institute University of Copenhagen Research) wird über Populationsstrukturen arktischer Bartrobben sprechen. Kommt vorbei! :))

Excited to see this work published! We propose elevating the species status of Bigg’s and resident killer whales to full species considering genetics, morphology and more! Paper link: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Phillip Morin (he/him) Kim Parsons @JohnWDurban and collaborators not on X.

Awesome to see this out in print and congrats to @eadin_omahony 🎉🎉 Really promising for eDNA and noninvasive molecular ecology studies going forward 🧬

New paper out in PNAS. We used paleogenomics, genetic simulations, and stable isotope analysis of 45 zooarchaeological beluga remains and compare the findings with contemporary data from modern tissue samples provided by Inuvialuit hunters. 1/4 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

To break up your politically fueled feed... I'm happy to present our new study on genomic adaptations of Polar bears to the Arctic published in BMC 🐻‍❄️ We analysed 119 polar bears, 135 brown bears, and two ancient genomes (>70k years old) to infer selection timing🧵

🎶🏝️Exciting news! Our new study in Ecology Letters extends the well-known principle of Species-Area Relationship into the world of ecoacoustics. Discover how habitat fragmentation influences the richness of natural soundscapes in the Amazon: a thread🧵doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…

New paper from my PhD 🧬🐬 Admixture is increasing genetic diversity and adaptive potential in low latitude killer whales promoting an genetic rescue effect. See more here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… (1/n)

🚨🐈‍⬛❤️🐈🚨 I am thrilled to share our latest study in Wiley Ecology & Evolution, where we show the first scientifically documented video of a melanistic jaguar mating in the wild! Here is what we found 👇🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec… #Jaguars #bigcat #naturalhistory #ecology #rainforest
