🚨New genus and species of Sonorini snake from Mexico, Yakacloalt tlalli. This is a rare species only known for a couple of specimens. In this paper we used multiple sources of evidence to support this new taxon. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...
Felicitamos a docentes y estudiantes del curso Genómica de la Biodiversidad @ibiogen-latam.bsky.social! 🧬🤓
En especial a nuestros socios Ivan de Magalhaes @6eyes8legs.bsky.social y Pía Pacheco, ganadores de una beca de traslado de nuestra Sociedad.
Last week, I took the Biodiversity Genomics course (@ibiogen-latam.bsky.social, Mendoza, Argentina). It was a super intensive but satisfying opportunity to get a glimpse of a variety of methods for analysing genomics data. Also, it was a great chance to meet talented Latin American researchers.
Looking back to a wonderful week of teaching biodiversity genomics in Mendoza, Argentina. The participants from 8 South and Central American countries learned the basics of biodiversity genomics from assessing data quality to performing population and comparative genomics analysis.
Very happy that our new paper on the odd, looped optic nerves of chameleons is now out! It turns out having highly mobile eyes require some pretty specialized connections! doi.org/10.1038/s415...
¿Por qué lo llaman Parque Jurásico si no tiene columpios?
