Umm... The only ship even remotely close to "sailing around" #Greenland is Swedish Icebreaker Oden. Last summer, with US and Danish scientists, we went further north along Greenland's west coast than any ship has done before. So Oden is totally the "right ship" for this 😂

Yesterday our paper on the genomics of the extinct aurochs was published in @Nature! I’m so happy to see this work finally released to the wild (ahem…). nature.com/articles/s41586-0… 🧵 Please follow along this thread of the main findings! 🐄🧬🦴

Check out our new paper on wildebeest in @NatureComms! 🎉 We find evidence for archaic introgression of the black wildebeest into the blue wildebeest and detrimental effects of human activities on migratory populations. Congrats to all authors involved! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Evolutionary genetics of the blue & black wildebeests remain largely unexplored. Liu et al. find archaic introgression of black wildebeest to blue wildebeest & detrimental effects of human activities. @HellerRasmus @idamoltke @MhsSinding @PopgenDK nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

New paper out! 🎉🎉🎉 We take a deep dive into the evolutionary history of giraffes. 🦒 There is a lot of discussion about if this is 1 species (as it is currently on the IUCN Red List) or actually more than 1. This is crucial to guide conservation. 🧵 authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

How do you do population genomics in a species without genetic variation? Find out in our new publication in @molecology titled "Population genomics of the muskox' resilience in the near absence of genetic variation" 🧵 ⬇️⬇️⬇️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Photo credit: @Lars_Holst

Wanna see something weird?! Ever thought about this? Every 2nd animal is a fish. Despite this fact, much about the #microbiome in fish is unknown! How is the #metagenome in Norwegian wild Atlantic #salmon as a case? In one word - surprising! Here is a thread! (1/10)

New Zealand's kiwi are amazing birds. First evolving millions of years ago, there are now 5 extant species. Some of which can still hybrise! We analysed the nuclear genomes of each species in our new manuscript our in #PLOSONE: dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…
