We had great time at #eseb2022. Great to see old friends meet new colleagues!

Check out our new correspondence "The European Green Deal misses Europe’s subterranean biodiversity hotspots." Together with Florian Altermatt @florianaltermatt.bsky.social. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Cave-adapted Asellus aquaticus move around more than their surface relatives, and in particular males! With contributions from our two Fišers academic.oup.com/cz/advance-art…

📢 NEW Editor-in-Chief: Dr Fabio Stoch, Université libre de Bruxelles Following his appointment, our journal is to further focus on #conservation, monitoring & #EcosystemServices of subterranean environments, and embrace integrated approach & novel research methods. 🔗See: subtbiol.pensoft.net/news/283

Having been honoured to publish Subterranean Biology on behalf of SIBIOS since 2011, we'd like to warmly welcome its new Editor-in-Chief: Dr Fabio Stoch, Université libre de Bruxelles!🙌 Looking forward to the next achievements for this fantastic #journal! 👉Find more: subtbiol.pensoft.net/news/283

After a long time without any changes, I have finally updated the design of my #phytools #Rstats blog. Check it out. 👉 blog.phytools.org

Today we had an interesting talk by Mirco Bundschuh about how chemicals affect processes in aquatic ecosystems.

New article published on olm (Proteus anguinus) behaviour and movement at night time in a spring using IR cameras. subtbiol.pensoft.net/article/87295/ Study led by Ester Premate and data collected during a biology student camp! #fieldwork

What is Reproductive Isolation? In our Journal of Evolutionary Biology Invited Review, Sean Stankowski, Parvathy S, Nick Barton & I try to define it! We base our definition on the reduction in gene flow, consistent with much current & historical use and the BSC. #Speciation (1/4) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/je…

Our new paper PNASNews is addressing a long-standing question in #ecology, #biodiversity sciences and #conservation biology: How do multiple #species #coexist in fragmented landscapes? A 🧵on multispecies coexistence: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… (1/7)

Come work with us! We’re looking for a field assistant to support research projects on mudpuppies and green salamanders over the next year. shorturl.at/HIRX6

Positions Open! The Extremophile Evolution Lab at UA Dept. of BSC The University of Alabama is looking for two grad students and a postdoc for Fall 2023. We study organismal adaptations to extreme environments, particularly in fishes. Full ads on website in Opportunities! extremophileevolutionlab.weebly.com

Say hi to Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE)! the pan-European project bringing together @BIOSCANEurope & European Reference Genome Atlas in an unprecedented effort to reverse the #biodiversity crisis through large-scale application of #genomics research: biodiversitygenomics.eu #DNA #GenomeSequencing #Barcoding 🧬🐝🌿

Cave fish are such a cool system! Great talk today at our departmental seminar by Johanna Kowalko on the genetics and development of 'cave traits' in the Mexican cavefish.

A new ERGA-Pilot #genome has been released! A reference genome is now available for the iconic slender-necked beetle, the first cave animal to have been formally described. Congratulations to the whole genome team on this accomplishment! 1/3 SubBio Lab Darwin Tree of Life Earth BioGenome Project 🌍

Our Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) project presented today at #BiodiversaPrague2023! A joint effort of 11 countries, 13 research institutes, >50 team members to incorporate #subterranean ecosystems in conservation agendas!
