In August 2022 the Zoologica Scripta - An International Journal of Systematic Zoology arranged a workshop 'The role of systematics for understanding ecosystem functions' in Oslo, Norway.
The 'proceedings of the workshop (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/zsc.12593) and the essentials of a dinner talk 'On the end of evolution – Humankind and the annihilation of species' by M. Glaubrecht (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/zsc.12592) have now been published in the Zoologica Scripta.

Our preprint on #OxfordNanopore #genome sequencing, assembly, and analysis of three critically endangered ash (Fraxinus) species in the olive family (Oleaceae) is up on #ResearchSquare :)

High quality long-read genomes produced from single MinION flow cells clarify polyploid and demographic histories of critically endangered ash species (Fraxinus: Oleaceae)

With populations of threatened and endangered plants and animals declining worldwide, it is important that high quality genomic records of these species are preserved before they are lost forever. Here, we demonstrate that data from single Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION flow cells c...

🦀Big #CRUSTMAS news!🦀
New preprint on a molecular #phylogeny of true #crabs. We find crabs moved to non-marine environments 5-15x over 100+ myr!
This culminates 20 years(!) of effort from an international team! 1/5

The advent calendar of our research group 'Frontiers in Evolutionary Zoology' at the Natural History Museum Oslo is halfway through, and has compiled a very interesting list of inspiring 2022 papers.
Today, the focus is on a PNAS paper by Ryabov et al. on measuring functional diversity. highly recommended reading.

The FEZ research group at the Natural History Museum Oslo has started its 2022 Advent calendar. This year we will focus on papers published in 2022 that group members found particularly interesting and/or impressive.

https://blog.annelida.de/2022/12/01/door-1-the-origin-of-animals-and-fungi/

The first door opens to a publication by Ocaña-Pallarès et al. (2022) Divergent genomic trajectories predate the origin of animals and fungi. Nature 609: 747-753. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-022-05110-4

Door 1: The origin of animals and fungi – Blogs of the FEZ research group

Hello all - I just landed here! I will share science, news, and solutions for #biodiversity loss and the work we are doing in our research group at McGill U, in the Quebec Centre for Biodiversity Science, and with GEO BON.

I will also be sharing news from #COP15 in Montreal over the coming weeks.

Facial recognition can help conserve #seals, scientists say https://phys.org/news/2022-11-facial-recognition-scientists.html A research team at Colgate University has developed SealNet, a database of #seal faces created by taking pictures of dozens of harbor seals in Maine's Casco Bay 🦭 #Pinnipeds #MarineMammals #MarineScience
Facial recognition can help conserve seals, scientists say

Facial recognition technology is mostly associated with uses such as surveillance and the authentication of human faces, but scientists believe they've found a new use for it—saving seals.
