Today's UKHSA "variants of concern" report calculates that BA.2 has a growth advantage of 126% over the original Omicron strain plus lots of other detail assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…

I'll say it again: the daily case counts are a *very* good guide to the actual situation. (No, I've not touched a single damn thing in the historical ratio; it comes out like this).

Median R-value across England is 0.67 for week ending 14th January Highest rates still in Middlesbrough, Sunderland & South Tyneside, all on 1.8% But 37% of 12+ haven't had a booster, so still potential for #Omicron to grow if mixing returns to normal archive.uea.ac.uk/~e130/R.html

🚨🚨 @EleanorFMiller et al show trends from 2 classic popsize reconstr methods (#BSP & #SDM) don't correlate (tested on ~100 spp). Consider factors like pop density changes, interpret such methods carefully & use multiple lines of evidence! doi.org/10.1111/mec.16… #PopGen #ConGen

Birds exhibit a tremendous diversity of migration patterns, but what determines their seasonal destinations? Our latest #openaccess research in @Ecology_Letters examines the role of energetic optimality in driving avian migratory connectivity: doi.org/10.1111/ele.13… 🐦

The @CamZoology dept. seminar series have been great to keep up with research while #WFH! EEG PhD student @m_and_emms shared how we can study #reef #fish #populations' response to large scale #climate-induced habitat loss by using #genomics and past climatic events in the #RedSea

Patterns of pop. differentiation are often attributed to distinct glacial refugia. Yet @EleanorFMiller et al. show observed gen. diversity in the Yellow Warbler resulted from asymmetric expansion from a single cohesive range. Range dynamics are important! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#newpaper! How can we assess the status of data-limited populations? Our @CatHorswill @DrManica et al use life-history theory to reconstruct missing values and show how these can improve population assessments of #threatenedspecies. #ornithology #seabirds ow.ly/pIMo50EITxK

So happy to see our paper out in @ELSforensics FSI: Genetics. We investigated patterns of illegal translocations and made available the first toolkit to assist forensic genetic applications for Hermann’s tortoises. #tortoises #forensic #illegaltrade authors.elsevier.com/a/1cLVS6fmR1df…
