Finally some positive biodiversity news: Wild mammals have been making a comeback in Europe over the past 50 years! Nature is resilient and bounces back, sometimes surprisingly fast, if given the chance. ourworldindata.org/europe-mammal-…

We weren't able to find a suitable PhD candidate for my lab at Vilnius University Life Sciences Centre but there's another chance to apply before Sep 2022. If you're looking for a 4yr #PhD & want to explore how RNA viruses switched surface proteins with me, here's a short 🧵 about it 1/7

Interesting BBC article about the necessity to change our communal thinking and moral values towards longtermism: bbc.com/future/article…

Here we show how our Bayesian deep learning model can learn animal-plant interaction from fossil evidence and use this information to model vegetation through deep time. A major step in understanding the evolution of open habitat grasslands! nature.com/articles/s4146…

BREAKING NEWS: The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”

Excellent summary of our recently published article by SciLifeLab_DataCentre. In the described study we reconstruct the evolution of open habitat grasslands in North America using our newly developed Bayesian Neural Network library (available in Python). #DDLS #AI

After two years, 8453 R errors, and 7563 slack messages, it finally happened! Our reviews on Malagasy biodiversity are out in Science Magazine! 😀Kew Science Kew Madagascar Antonelli Lab Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Centre Field Museum et al. Read them: bit.ly/3B2d5RX & bit.ly/3XNWx9S

Great postdoc opportunity in our research group! Apply now, only 3 more days left until deadline (March 31st)!

Only as a biologist do you open your email in the morning and find the first mail to greet you with the subject "Looking for mouse testis" 😆. Anybody got any lying around?

Today Tobias Andermann is featured in the researcher profile series from the Department of Organismal Biology at Uppsala University. Read more about Tobias' biodiversity research and his reflections on being a scientist: iob.uu.se/research/resea…

Since we now have the UN directive of having to conserve 30% of all area of the land and the sea, this should include large parts of Swedens old growth forests, BEFORE harvesting most of it and irreversibly damaging it's biodiversity! Check out this appeal:swedishforestvision.org

Congratulations to Tobias Andermann from Systematic Biology Programme for receiving a 4-year starting grant from Vetenskapsrådet for his project "A new frontier in biodiversity research: uncovering patterns of hidden diversity with eDNA and AI"

Here we estimate the number of recent bird extinctions, including those that have gone unnoticed due to a lack of data/research effort. See the popular science summary of our study in The Guardian here: amp.theguardian.com/environment/20…
