Natural dispersal is better than translocation for reducing risks of inbreeding depression in eastern black rhinoceros ( <i>Diceros bicornis michaeli</i> ) A free platform for explaining your research in plain language, and managing how you communicate around it – so you can understand how best to increase its impact.

We are very excited to announce that our paper, led by Ronald Mellya and Anubhab Khan, is now available in @pnas.org. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/.... Funded by the Zurich Zoo, whole genome sequencing revealed that opening up corridors to dispersal could be more sustainable than translocation.

Very fun @uofgsbohvm.bsky.social OHRBID lab lunch. Thanks especially to Sree and Eugene for organising and Taya for "sponsoring". Happy holidays

And great to see so many big our masters students in the band this year.
