Interested in speciation or know someone who is? ESEB-funded network Speciation_network are launching a monthly seminar series on the integration of speciation research. All are welcome: speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/seminar-series/ Please RT.

Human Genome Project took 2800 researchers to comple 1st draft genome. Now, > 20 years later a refgenome for nearly any organism can be produced by one lab. Thanks to brilliant Pierre Nouhaud who single handedly assembled and annotated #Formica wood ant genome academic.oup.com/jhered/advance…

Saw an owl on the ride home through Central Park. #blessed

Congrats Beatriz Portinha!!! And to Ina Satokangas | @inasatok.bsky.social for her travel funding. It’s amazing to have such inspiring lab mates.

Team SpecIAnt doing last bit of fieldwork for this year to collect thermal loggers we use to understand how changing climate impacts keystone species, the wood ants.

Great to present my research on #InternationalWomensDay2023 !

Ants and their scientist Beatriz Portinha (Beatriz Portinha) in their natural habitat, the mounds in the depths of Finnish forests. But why does she study ants? Find out in our episode. Link in the bio🐜 Photos by Beatriz Portinha. #sciencebasementpod #climatechange #GlobalWarming

The 33rd LUOVA Spring Symposium will take place 4-6th March 2024! Mark your calendars! The organizing committees for this symposium are PhD students from the University of Helsinki LUOVA doctoral programme! You can keep up to date about the symposium on our social media and website

Where did the bedtools tutorial go 😬 Aaron Quinlan btw cute 404 tho

Hi Everyone! join us on 7th Nov 9am CET for the next IOS seminar. Astrid Groot and Tatiana Giraud will tell us about Species interactions and speciation! Also see following seminar is set for Dec 5! Link on website speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/seminar-series/

Are you working on social insects🐜🐝& climate change & want to present your recent work📝? We got you! Submit your abstract 📩to the EuroIUSSI 2024 symposium "Coping with climate change: Responses and adaptations in social insects" following this link: wp.unil.ch/iussi-europe-2…

Registration closes in less than a week for the 33rd LUOVA Spring Symposium! If you're a PhD/masters student in ecology, evolution, conservation or systematics, what are you waiting for? Submit that abstract (there's also the opportunity to order some merch with our rad logo ;) )

A fascinating journey behind, excited to share our work on predictability of speciation, led by Marius & Hannes Rösti, w Janette Boughman, Samridhi Chaturvedi, Jochen Wolf, and Brian Langerhans. cshperspectives.cshlp.org/content/earl... - part of the CSH Perspectives on Speciation.

OMG SPRING SYMPOSIUM 33 IS TOMORROW! 😲 Don't forget: a nametag, mug/cup for coffee breaks, to send us your powerpoint slides, and to register for the Grande Finale! 🫎

Hi Everyone! Please join us tomorrow (March 5th) at 9 am CET for the next IOS seminar. Saupe Lab Oxford and Rachel Warnock will tell us about diversification models in paleoecology and phylogenomics. Zoom link on website: speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/seminar-series/

Getting ready for another day in paradise at the LOUVA LUOVA Spring Symposium!

To all speciation-minded folks out there: We welcome submissions to our symposium "The completion of speciation: Coupling, persistence and the micro-macro link" at #Evol2024, the Joint Congress on Evolutionary Biology. We hope to see a diverse set of approaches and views!

Very much looking forward to another Speciation_network seminar on Tuesday, 30th April, this time with a focus on spatial patterns. Our invited speakers are Gideon Bradburg and Lacey Knowles. speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/seminar-series/
