(1/2) Last week, the EGB team took part in FCUL’s Open Day 2026!
For another year, we helped bring science closer to school students through hands-on activities, that walked visitors through the journey from the field to data simulation! 🐟📊

(1/2)📌New paper out in @Ecol_Evol!
Funded by the European Proteomics Infrastructure Consortium (EPIC-XS), our team used a TMT labeling proteomics approach to study impact of climate change on the endangered Mira chub (Squalius torgalensis).🐟

(2/2) We also identified potential molecular markers that can be important for monitoring this species in a changing world.

📣 Our new paper just came out in The American Naturalist! @ChicagoJournals
Are DMIs actors or simple markers of the speciation process with gene flow?

(1/3)📢New paper out in @molecology!
📎 Available at: doi.org/10.1111/mec.70009
By combining a broad sampling of the different Iberian Squalius species across the Iberian Peninsula with whole genome sequencing, we uncovered multiple cases of hybridization between species.

(2/3) These cases span from ancient hybridization events impacting entire species to more recent localized events restricted to small streams.

📅🛍️ July 3rd | International Plastic Bag Free Day
In Portugal, plastic bags are threatening biodiversity and water quality in our rivers.
Reduce plastic use for cleaner and healthier rivers!

(2/2) This work focuses on genomics of ancient hybridization, using as model the Iberian chubs. Since it has been found that hybridization is overspread and was at play throughout the tree of life, shedding light in this phenomenon and its implications is crucial.

(1/2) Happy World Water Day! 💧🌎
Today, March 22, we celebrate the World Water Day!
This day aims to raise awareness about the importance of the preservation and sustainable management of freshwater resources.
