So happy to share that I passed my PhD viva on Friday!! 🤓📖
A huge thank you to my supervisor Marta Farré Belmonte for all her support and to the examiners Jim Groombridge and Raquel Chaves for a great discussion.

We have another publication out! 🎉🎉🎉
“Hybrids along a natural–anthropogenic gradient: improving policy and management across all levels of biodiversity.”
We explore how to deal with hybrids in conservation — scientifically and practically. A thread 🧵

Hybrids Along a Natural‐Anthropogenic Gradient: Improving Policy and Management Across All Levels of Biodiversity
Hybridization has long been a central topic in evolution and conservation. Recent developments in genomics have increased the ability to detect hybridization, defined here as breeding between species....
