Herbarium collections for the win.
Maybe not the time to be dismantling your collections,

New TREE paper led by Jana Nickel on 'Hitchhiking of deleterious mutations within chromosomal inversions' doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... Broadly, if inversions are linked to an adaptive trait, homokaryotypes are at high frequency, and purging can reduce deleterious mutation load.....
We're delighted to announce Sarah Sanderson (McGill University) as the winner of the 2025 Louis Bernatchez Memorial Prize for the best student-led paper in Evolutionary Applications!
Congratulations, @sarahsanderson.bsky.social 🎉🎉🎉

Pressed plant specimens collected centuries ago and stored in herbaria around the world could play a key role in facilitating the tracking of genetic change and extinction risk in plants, a McGill University-led study indicates.

I feel very honoured to receive this award. Louis Bernatchez’s work has been really influential for me, so this means a lot. Huge thanks to @lucaseckert.bsky.social, @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social, Rowan Barrett, and Tom Reimchen!
How useful can #herbarium collections be for genetic monitoring? 🌿
We show that Earth’s currently digitized herbarium specimens can be clustered into HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of historical “populations” suitable for population genetic studies

Predicting the distance between an individual's release point into a new environment and their subsequent location (‘displacement’) could be useful during biological ‘introduction’ events (e.g., i...
Abstract. Despite growing evidence of widespread genetic responses to anthropogenic activity, data shortfalls constrain genetic monitoring efforts and prec
