In addition to losing species, and losing habitat, we are losing genetic diversity. This is important for conservation- just when we are causing the environment to change rapidly we are taking the tools necessary for adaptation away from the other species we share this world with.

Global meta-analysis shows action is needed to halt genetic diversity loss

The Tyee: Preserving the Complexity of Sea Life Is Vital. Where’s Canada? https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/10/17/Preserving-Complexity-Sea-Life-Vital/ #bcnews #TheTyee - via @[email protected] #Kunming-MontrealGlobalBiodiversityFramework #globalseasurfacetemperatures #biodiversityconservation #oceansurfacetemperatures #ecosystemcarbonstorage #marinebiodiversity #biodiversityloss #geneticdiversity #Antarcticseaice #portfolioeffect #coralbleaching #marineheatwave #oceanheating #ElNiño #LaNiña

So here's my #introduction:

I'm a #PhD student at Oxford Uni, looking at differences in #GeneticDiversity btw planted trees and their offspring of two non-native conifer species to the UK - #Douglasfir and #WesternRedCedar.

I developed #bioinformatics approaches for the genetic analysis of half brothers of holm oaks and cork oaks. Before this, I studied the levels of genetic #hibridisation between two white oak species.

I love oaks 🌳

I enjoy #basketball #climbing and every sport :)
