New preprint out where we compare WGS with target enrichment for old museum specimens of moths in the families Epicopeiidae and Sematuridae! Great work done by co-authors Elsa, Victoria and Marianne!

Precious cargo of canasteros from Peru is out of quarantine. 🥳 Genetic samples already sequenced but these wings need to be photographed for estimations of flight performance. Data galore. #museomics #biodiversitydata #Furnariidae

RT @bras_audrey
I will be presenting my plans on studying changes of #genetic diversity over the last century in Finnish #butterflies 🦋using #museomics during the poster session at #OikosFin23

Feel free to pass by and chat with me on my work with @Marjo__S

Returning to taxonomy, my 6th paper of the year was a study on the very weird frogs of the Gephyromantis subgenus Laurentomantis, describing four new species, with the aid of #Museomics to clarify type specimens. This was led by Miguel Vences.

I appear on the latest episode of the New Species Podcast, talking about the score of new frog species we described from Madagascar. This is #IntegrativeTaxonomy and #Museomics in action. Check it out:

We are grateful to the Natural History Museum - Tring and
the Zoology Museum in Cambridge for providing historical samples. To Nature Seychelles for assistance on the original collection of modern samples. To MSCActions, GrundforskFond, DefraGovUK, ELSA and dgeci for funding 7/7 #Museomics #EvolutionaryBiology #conservationgenomics

@RobLanfear I mostly work on #phylogenetics and #phylogenomics of parasitic wasps, although lately I've also branched into beetles and nematodes. Mostly interested in resolving poorly defined lineages using #Museomics but also using empirical and simulation data to understand why some clades are difficult.

An #Introduction:

I'm the #Curator of #Herpetology at the #NaturalHistoryMuseum of #Denmark, and #AsstProf of #Vertebrate #Zoology at the University of Copenhagen.

I work in evolutionary and systematic herpetology, working on a variety of topics including #museomics, #macroevolution, #convergence, #phylogeography, #speciation, #systematics, and #taxonomy. I mostly work on the #amphibians and #reptiles of #Madagascar. #Miniaturisation is my jam.

Tom Major from Bangor University will discuss how "Museomics reveal the identity of a mysterious venomous snake from Zimbabwe."

Just moved from another server so sending my #introduction again - I work at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, #universityofcopenhagen as Associate Professor and Curator of Botany - my research focuses on #plants #pollinators and their interactions using #fieldwork, #eDNA, #Genomics & #museomics - I curate the flowering plants in #herbarium C & the #botanicalgarden - also Lead #Curator for the #biodiversity gallery being created as part of the new #NHMDenmark.

After an eventually successful transfer to ecoevo.social a brief #introduction of myself.

I am professor for Molecular Systematics at the Natural History Museum, University of Oslo with particular interest in #biodiversity and #genomics of parasitic #flatworms and #ArcticMarineMammals as well as #museomics applications. Another focus is #SpeciesCommunities and #ecosystems.

#Introduction
I’m Camille, very lucky to work at the #BotanicalGarden of #Geneva in a wonderful team. My work has mostly to do with #Phylogeny #populationgenetics #GeneticDiversity #SpeciesDelimitation in #plants Very interested in #Museomics as well. I like everything around #aDNA as a big fan of #archaeology I like to share about the organisms that cross my way and #ClimateChange. Very happy to be here #mastodon Big thanks for making ecoevo.social happening
