I forgot to retweet my own paper 🙃 but biggest chapter of my PhD came out finally this summer! Interesting results on genetic vs species diversity hotspots, very taxa dependent. MAJOR thank you to @thefraserlab & especially @ericJpedersen again for all the hard work & support!
Our #macrogenetic assessment of pop genetic diversity across🌎is out!
-Spatial hot coldspots largely unrelated to latitude
-Discordance btw gen diversity species richness
-Only some links with envtal factors; taxonomic diffs
-Nature is complicated!

Lots of great discussions the past 2 days @OceanTracking's International Data Management Committee meeting. I'm repping @OBISNetwork@BioEcoOcean, learning a lot about animal tracking data management & thinking about how such data could contribute to #EssentialOceanVariables !
Join our OBIS team. We are recruiting a Community Engagement Officer to support the new OBIS coordination groups for OBIS nodes, data and information products. This is a consultancy position. Apply before 28 August 2024. More information 👉obis.org/2024/07/30/vacancy-…

Been busy at the home office the last few weeks! Vesta and I are working hard together to finish @BioEcoOcean's Data Management Plan to help project partners manage their data effectively #HorizonEU#CatAssistant#WorkFromHome
12th session of the OBIS steering group is happening this week at MABIK in South Korea. After the hands-on sessions we will move into formals tomorrow. #sgobis12#marinebiodiversity#fairdata
The major global players in the field of #cameratrapping published a paper on @RSECJournal proposing a standard for exchanging #cameratrap data in a FAIR, open and both machine- and human-readable way.

If you have marine #biodiversity data you want to publish and make more accessible, check out this freely accessible #training course for OBIS! Covers topics including #DarwinCore, data formatting, #eDNA data, #vocabulary, quality control, accessing OBIS data, and more!
New preprint: A global assessment of effective population sizes highlights consistent taxonomic differences in meeting the 50/500 rule, and reduced Ne in many areas with greater human footprint

So happy to have this out! Great work built on Gillian Muir's BSc thesis project @Concordia showing that #biodiversity hotspots at different levels don't always align, using @cosewic's Designatable Units
1/4 #Biodiversity hotspots identify regions of conservation priority using spp. richness uniqueness. What if applied to below the species level? Indeed, #extinction risk is often best assessed below species, but usually considered species-by-species only. @KbaCanada@cosewic
Hey everyone check out this ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC little show, introducing you to the #bullfrog! I laughed, the theme song is catchy, great production overall 👌🐸 love it
#sciencetwitter#herpetology
Despite everything going on, it's been a good month! I finished my #PhD with an amazing and supportive supervisor @thefraserlab@Concordia
AND just got my blue belt in Jiu Jitsu! @GracieBarra72
Big congrats to newly minted PhD @Ichtyologie on an outstanding PhD defense today @Concordia! His works on #densitydependence are informative for understanding population regulation in ecology and conservation. Stay tuned for more awesome papers in the coming months!
#PhDSupervisionFeedback:
What you say: Needs work
What they hear and think: It’s all wrong. I have no idea what work is needed.
What you could say: You need to show more clearly how your result supports the
hypothesis.
