New paper drop! 🚨
Led by my awesome postdoc @renamschweizer.bsky.social — we used genomics + museum DNA to explore the decline of Bombus franklini, a bee not seen in the wild since 2006 🐝
Now out in @PNASNews!

Check out our new paper on the species status of two endangered bumble bees! We address an evolutionary question, compare phylogenetic methods, and explore (in)equity in access to advanced methods in conservation genetics🧪🌏
