We present genomic evidence showing the West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapsed during the #LastInterglacialPeriod!🇦🇶🌊🚨#popgen #icesheet #interdisciplinary ...the tipping point of future #WestAntarcticIceSheet collapse could be reached even under the #ParisAgreement (+1.5-2.0°C)

Cool new study @ICES_ASC that quantifies sample cross-contamination, including laboratory mitigation methods: doi.org/10.1093/icesjm… #genomics #genetics #GBS #RADseq #fisheries #tuna #fieldwork #marinesci #marinebio #ecology #conservation

📢New publication:- eDNA is NOT one thing, but is composed of different states !! Our new publication tests various methods to isolate and analyze the membrane-bound, dissolved and adsorbed states of environmental DNA #eDNA. doi.org/10.1002/edn3.4…

Very disappointed to see more and more journals move to 'gold standard' open access models exclusively. Methods in Ecology and Evolution is now off the list for me since I can't justify spending $3,500USD on a publication. Shame given it was historically a great journal.

Nice paper from Ben Scoulding and colleagues in the US, UK and Australia testing a combined acoustics & optics survey method for snapper abundance in a closed area doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Genetic sampling kits destined for recreational and commercial fishers that are far better at finding fish than me. Great to see their interest in pop-gen and fisheries research.

It's a persistent and exceedingly damaging myth that government can't afford to properly invest in environmental protection and repair. Here I explain why and how much better things could be, *if* our government had a change of heart theguardian.com/commentisfree/… #Budget2023
