Radioactive landscape too dangerous for humans now boasts some of the world’s wildest horses, wolves, and Eurasian lynx
How important is mitochondrial DNA in conservation? Jack Brand, @dk-dowling.bsky.social and co-authors argue that ignoring mtDNA risks unintended maladaptation and that mitochondrial and nuclear genetics should be considered jointly in conservation planning. www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...
It was really fun joining the @npr.org Short Wave podcast last week to chat about our latest research on how cocaine pollution may affect salmon behaviour!

Human-mediated gene flow is increasingly altering the genetic composition of populations,
yet conservation assessments typically focus on nuclear introgression alone. We synthesise
evidence showing th...

A recent study caught our eye: salmon on cocaine. Or really, researchers giving salmon cocaine…for science. See, scientists know human drugs pollute aquatic environments – past studies have shown even...
New paper out today in TREE, led by the amazing @jack-brand.bsky.social!
We show why mitochondrial DNA introgression matters for conservation, inc. how nonnative mtDNA can shape adaptation, performance, and viability in wildlife populations
