(2/2) This work focuses on genomics of ancient hybridization, using as model the Iberian chubs. Since it has been found that hybridization is overspread and was at play throughout the tree of life, shedding light in this phenomenon and its implications is crucial.

(2/2) March highlights the significance of freshwater ecosystems, with another important date happening on March 14 - The International Day of Action for Rivers.
The EGB Group remains committed to the protection of rivers and freshwater biodiversity! 💦

(3/3) Her project was supervised by our team members Vitor Sousa and @jm-moreno.bsky.social.

(2/3) This research not only deepens our understanding of phenotypic plasticity but also supports freshwater fish conservation! By using cell culture, it was possible to reduce animal sacrifice while shedding light on the physiological impacts of climate change.

(2/2) This work contributes to a better understanding of this species and can help inform conservation measures.
