DeepDive: estimating global biodiversity patterns through time using deep learning nature.com/articles/s4146…

Super excited - our latest devil paper! Releasing 33 devils to a site of <20 individuals saw no increase in disease prevalence but observed increases in genome-wide diversity, new functional alleles & stable age distribution. Benefits of translocations!

Our new paper is out! We show how sequential island colonisation has resulted in unique sets of divergent genes. Is genetic drift or parallel adaptation responsible?

Good morning Copenhagen! Happy to be back and dive into the world of forward genetic simulations using SLiM!

Thrilled to see our research featured in @knowablemag’s recent coverage on the ecological impacts of #peace in #Colombia (in short, sad news for the forests 😞). This highlights our review on the evol and distribution of Andean floras! 🌿🏔️
