A request to make a small donation if you are able: My friend and colleague, Gumercindo Crispin, is undergoing surgeries after having broken two vertebrae in his neck. He is an important force for science, community, and conservation Read more @ GoFundMe: gofund.me/4acac23a

What should we think about when creating new protected areas (PAs) to meet with #30x30 goals? Our new @CommsBio article focuses on amphibians to explore the conservation potential of microreserves: tinyurl.com/2a5ky95y with @wavingfrog @acatenazzi @koomapper

For more explorations of microreserves as a tool in amphibian conservation, see our paper! 👀👀(Resumen en español disponible con los suplementos)

This is a call to value microreserves and use them strategically-- each one is an ✨opportunity ✨to draw microendemics, critically important habitats, and critically important populations into our PA network-- particularly for currently underrepresented taxa!

University of California folks-- how are you dealing with reducing your google drive storage 😵‍💫 Getting threats of discontinued email service... Have spent DAYS trying to reduce below 5GB limit as Berkeley alum and just my email still consumes 7.32GB !

if you want to learn about how pumpkin toadlets, their skin bacteria, and chytrid fungus respond to experimental drought, come see my talk at @WCHerp #WCH10 at 12:30 in room 2 🎃🐸

Can we think of chytrid-affected species as essentially new species? Cool talk by @BenCScheele on how chytrid is reshaping distributions & fundamental ecology of species 🐸🐸

Here is a detailed thread about SINGER (thanks @yun_s_song for putting it together!). I will keep improving SINGER and developing new ARG inference/applications methods. Feedbacks/critiques are welcome, and they can be incorporated into our future works!
Yun S. Song@yun_s_song17 Mar 2024
We are delighted to share our work on a robust, accurate method for sampling genome-wide genealogies (aka ARGs) from the full posterior distribution. This is a product of years of hard work by @YunDeng5, who is jointly advised by @ras_nielsen and me. doi.org/10.1101/2024.03.16.5… 1/n
