Are you an evolutionary/population geneticist in Denmark? The EPIC conference is back and it will take place on 11-12 August 2025 in Aarhus. Come along for two days of great talks and networking! #EPICdk25 Hosts: @MolBiolAU & @PopGenDK Register now at: popgen.dk/epic/

Interesting insights regarding the impact of Inuvialuit beluga whale hunting in the Mackenzie River delta by @M_skovrind. #EPIC @PopGenDK

Nice overview of European wolf genomics by Xin Sun, including signatures of hybridization with domestic dogs, ancestry, inbreeding and genetic load. #EPIC @PopGenDK

Great presentation by @renzobalb of our recent work on two African pig species, exploring patterns of biodiversity and speciation, and the mysterious presence of bush pigs on Madagascar. Keep your eyes open for the preprint, which will drop in the following days! #EPIC @PopGenDK

A genomic dataset for a species which was last recorded 10 years ago (camera trap): the saola. Challenging data, but analysed with some bioinformatics magic by @ErillGenis. #EPIC @PopGenDK

Great talk about harbour seals and the unique position of the Kalmarsund population, by @ReinholdtAnnika. #EPIC @PopGenDK

Pretty amazing genomic resources for African elephants, generated and presented by @PatriciaChrzan. And with a specific focus on how these resources can help conservation move forward, including the development of a SNP panel. #EPIC @PopGenDK

Impressive overview of a macrogenomic approach to infer population size trajectories and their drivers in mammals, by @juraj_bergman. #EPIC @PopGenDK

Great opening of our session "Understanding population histories with genetics I - (conservation)", with a keynote by @ntherk about local adaptation despite gene flow in Atlantic silversides, driven by chromosomal inversions. #EPIC @PopGenDK

Yuxin Hou presents her work on Grant's gazelles, which are another case of a species complex with local admixture. In addition, they do weird things with their chromosomes, with translocations involving their sex chromosomes. #EPIC @popgendk

Baboons: another example of a basal north-south split, with a complex landscape of admixture. Nice overview by Erik Sørensen. #EPIC @PopGenDK

Cool talk by @DdJ_SA about the confusing evolutionary histories of some of the cutest, small antelopes: steenbok, Cape grysbok and Sharpe's grysbok. #EPIC @PopGenDK

Today is the last day to register for the EPIC conference in Copenhagen on 21-22 August. Come join us to hear some great talks on evolution and population genetics! Register at: popgen.dk/epic/

Tomorrow is the last day for abstract submission! Great opportunity for early career researchers to talk about their work. See you there for two days of population genetics and evolutionary biology! #EPICdk23 Submit your abstract at popgen.dk/epic/

Only three days left to submit abstracts for the EPIC Conference in Copenhagen. Early career researchers are especially encouraged to apply. See you there for two days of evolutionary and population genetics talks! #EPICdk23 Abstracts due 15 June - popgen.dk/epic/

Just over a week left to submit abstracts for the EPIC Conference in Copenhagen! Come and join us for two days of talks in evolutionary biology and population genetics. Researchers at all levels are welcome! #EPICdk23 Abstracts due 15 June - popgen.dk/epic/
