It's #WorldWetlandsDay today! While considering what we can all do to protect these vulnerable ecosystems, we're sharing some botanical illustrations of marsh flowers from 'English Botany', a collaborative work between James Sowerby and Sir James Edward Smith.

Great Littorina Research Community meeting this week! 🐌🌊🐚
The Fiasco team crushed the presentations 🎯 and the feedback was amazing 💗
So many valuable inputs — we can't wait for the next steps! ! 💪✨

New results on Littorina fabalis ecotypes! 🐌
Inversions aren't just enabling parallel adaptation to wave exposure in France & Sweden, they're also hotspots for site-specific differences, including a striking color QTL associated with one inversion but only in France.

Inversions support both parallel and location-specific adaptations in snail ecotypes
Replicated hybrid zones between ecotypes established over within shore environmental gradients provide an opportunity to study the genomic architecture of barriers to gene flow. The marine snail Litto...

Cool people, cool projects, cool science!
Thanks for the opportunity ❤️ 🧬

We've been at the Biennial Meeting of @sesbe-org.bsky.social
We are very happy to have had the opportunity to share our work, exchange ideas, and learn from other colleagues
We loved sharing it with other UVigo colleagues from the Animal Ecology Group and the Computational Molecular Evolution Lab
