Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Genomic responses to past and future change
Q: What do your results suggest about what might happen in the future?
Not all populations will respond in the same way to climate change, with some potentially facing higher risks due to their genetic adaptations.
Genomic responses to past and future change
Q: What did you find out about the situation in the present?
We found nine genetically distinct populations spread across the Amazon, with specific genetic markers linked to local climate conditions.
Genomic responses to past and future change
Q: What were the aims of your master's project?
The main goal was to understand whether populations of this Amazonian lizard are locally adapted to the climate where they live and how vulnerable they might be to future climate change.
Golden bandicoot and Australian conservation genomics
Q: What is the significance of genetic diversity in conservation efforts?
Genetic diversity is crucial as it improves the evolutionary potential and adaptability of a species, allowing it to survive changing environmental conditions.
Golden bandicoot and Australian conservation genomics
Q: What were the main aims of the study you conducted on the golden bandicoot?
The main aims of the study were to contextualize remnant fragmented populations genetically, identify genetic diversity, assess how translocated populations retained genetic diversity over time, and prioritize conservation actions at a species level.
