It's here! Out today in Current Biology. With continental-scale phylogenomics, we reconstruct the diversification of rodents across Sahul (New Guinea, Australia, Maluku, Solomon Islands) since the Miocene cell.com/current-biolog… free access>authors.elsevier.com/a/1fhE63QW8R%7… #ozrodents 🧵/1

Look at our fab new #ConservationGenetics website! ❤️🧬 Go on - check it out!

Nice one Brenton and team! Great paper!

Congratulations to this year's Society Award winners Dr Tony Friend for the Honorary Life Membership Award, Brenton von Takach the President's Early Researcher Award, and Professor Euan Ritchie 🌏 🌳 🐾 🔥 🎶 for the inaugural Ronald Strahan Award. #AMSPerth22

I’m Nellie famous! So excited I made the cut 😍 what an amazing and beautiful summary of my The Australian Mammal Society talk! Thanks Nellie Pease!

Don't forget to register for the October Seminar with Dr Joel Alves talking rabbits 🐇🐇 Tomorrow 7 October 3:30PM AWST. Register for meeting link: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regist… #ausmammals

Paper comparing methods to estimate population density #cameratraps VS live trapping VS genetic Differences in precision, cost, and effort ▶️#Cameratrapping least effort ▶️#Genetics most expensive & most precise ▶️#Livetrapping cheapest, most time-cons & less precise

🚨Calling conservation geneticists🚨 DBCA Biodiversity & Conservation Science are hiring! We have a 4-year research scientist position in Conservation Genomics (Fauna Genetics) to join our new Climate Change Adaptation group (poss extension/permanency). DM if interested!

Just before the end of the year, we got another paper out! 🎉🎉🎉 It was a rather long process, capturing the thoughts and experiences from all coauthors, addressing how we can do a better job integrating molecular tools into biodiversity conservation: conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cs… 🧵

Are you interested in advancing #GeneticDiversity #Conservation in policy & practice? We're seeking new members to contribute to this mission, with a focus on coordination, shared understanding & inclusivity. Submit an Expression of interest here: coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/contact

Our final speaker for the #AusMammal February seminar is PhD candidate Emma Harding. Emma studies viral "fossils" preserved in marsupial genomes to better understand how viruses impact our modern species. Seminars are open to the public, register at buff.ly/3OdnAIr
