PhD students: do you really want to do a post-doc with a PI interested in journal IF more than the content of you PhD papers?
Post-doc, tenure tracks: I've been on many panels where journal names where ~never mentioned (e.g. ERC panels, assoc/prof hiring panels in various european countries). Starting a sentence like "I've read this paper and I found it..." is usually much more influential than recalling a journal IF.
Just back from the kick-off meeting of #OptFORESTS, a new #HorizonEU project
Among many other things, we will design & establish a new common garden network including species and provenance mixtures, as well as testing underused tree species and ecologically-marginal & peripheral populations
Here is a summary of the options we are considering. Any suggestions? Also, any other similar initiatives around that would like to link with us?
I’ve been announcing the next XX meeting on floral ecology and evolution (February 9th-10th, 2023, Seville, Spain) on Twitter but not on Mastodon. Here It is.

I am afraid they don't, as it is not clear to which surface unit the estimate refers. There are estimates of Ne for the case of metapopulations, but still they assume discret populations and not continuous ones.
Not sure there is a way out, but we are now trying to estimate Ne trends in the last 10 generations (using SNP data that is mapped) with the hope that even if the estimates themselves are biased, the trends may still be informative.
But having many doubts.
Actually we have done something like that already, and estimates improve (as far as you don't have IBD, which would also bias the Ne estimates)
We also found that estimates of Ne based of the variance of reproductive success works fine
Personally I still think that Ne is a great genetic indicator, it is just that it is very difficult to estimate in large, continuous populations and thus not so useful from a practical point of view
It is today! Everybody is welcome!
