Congratulations to @Sprunger_PhD for her new grant to explore how regenerative ag practices enhance soil health & yield stability, evaluate the relationship between soil health & greenhouse gas emissions, & identify factors influencing farmer adoption of climate-smart practices!
The new Agricultural Climate Resiliency Program has funded four research projects. The initiative is a partnership among @michiganstateu, @MichDeptofAg and the Michigan Plant Coalition aimed at solving long-term climate- and water-related challenges. READ: canr.msu.edu/news/new-agric…
On a day like today, in 2016, David Jailaca re-encountered one of the most enigmatic little frogs of Ecuador, believed to be extinct for almost 30 years. Today we celebrate its rediscovery. Today is “Jambato Day.” 🐸🟠⚫
Excited to share our pre-print for a shiny new Florida-Scrub Jay genome assembly and annotation! Long-read sequencing and a linkage map helped us add ~260 Mb of sequence and find a few more chromosomes in comparison to previous assemblies. @popgenchen ✨🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
So proud of @CinnamonMittan and VERY excited to continue working with her and our collaborators on Mitchell's satyr butterfly conservation genomics! @nickmhaddad @mw_casc @KelloggBioStn @EEB_MSU
