Europäisches Damwild vor 120.000 Jahren – dem Verlust genetischer Vielfalt auf der Spur

Modernes Damwild repräsentiert demzufolge nur einen Bruchteil der Vielfalt seiner Warmzeit-Vorfahren. In ihrer Studie beleuchten die Forschenden zudem, wie Klima und menschliches Handeln eine einst diverse Art grundlegend umgestalteten und könnte daher auch für Schutzmaßnahmen hilfreich sein: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/nachrichten/detail/2026-06-04-europaeisches-damwild-vor-120000-jahren-dem-verlust-genetischer-vielfalt-auf-der-spur

Not groundbreaking, but the work in this paper enabled the interesting polymer degradation studies my students & I are doing now. As you can see from the author list, many many people contributed over the years. I count 6 who have finished or are pursuing PhDs plus others involved in other areas of science. Greyson is sole 1st author because he got obsessed with NMR, did all the final fiddly bits, & wrote the 2D analysis. #NMR #iScience #chemistry #PUI #proflife #ProudPI https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004226005651
Happy to say that our paper reporting place cells (!) and other interesting (albeit less surprising) things in ventral anterior #thalamus is now out in #iScience. Thanks to a fun collaboration with Eleonora Lomi and Anna Mitchell https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2023.106993
