Excited to have our new garden dormouse paper out! Small mammals are underrepresented in conservation research. Here we explore patterns of genetic erosion in garden dormice, considered the fastest-declining mammal in Europe, in its core German range #consgen link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Our new paper doi.org/10.1098/rspb... on long-term genetic threats to small populations finds that "mutational meltdown" (bad mutations fixing) is less of a problem than "mutational drought" (too few good new mutations) @wmawass.bsky.social @uliseshmc.bsky.social @jeremyjberg.bsky.social 1/5
I am hiring a popgen postdoc!
Looking for a creative scientist to join us at USC to investigate recessive variation and complex traits in model or non-model species. The project is funded by a multi-year NIH grant, contract can be renewed.
