How repeatable is natural selection over space and time? Using the California bar-built estuary system, we look at seasonal genomic change to examine local and widespread responses to natural selection 🐟🧬 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social @molecology.bsky.social

I feel very honoured to receive this award. Louis Bernatchez’s work has been really influential for me, so this means a lot. Huge thanks to @lucaseckert.bsky.social, @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social, Rowan Barrett, and Tom Reimchen!

Second preprint from my PhD! Using our whole lake transplant experiment in Alaska 🏔️ we test for assortative mating following secondary contact among divergent stickleback populations 🐟 and found the opposite of what we expected… 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I am excited to be teaching a new course about rapid evolution in the Anthropocene at Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre this summer with @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social. Registration for undergrads will open soon at : bamfieldmsc.com/education/pr...

Check out our new paper with @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social @lucaseckert.bsky.social, Rowan Barrett, and Tom Reimchen. After a severe drought, a listed population of unarmoured stickleback became mostly armoured. onlinelibrary-wiley-com.proxy3.library.mcgill.ca/doi/10.1111/...

New course to be taught this summer at Bamfield Marine Science Center by Andrew Hendry and collaborators (e.g., me), on rapid evolution in the anthropocene: bamfieldmsc.com/education/pr... with a focus on both marine & freshwater stickleback, intertidal organisms, & more

When a population protected due to its unique traits evolves to be less unique. Check out our new paper led by Sarah Sanderson. "Contemporary Evolution of an At-Risk Stickleback Population During a Severe Drought" in Evol. Appl. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

How does fibrosis (an inflammation and tissue repair response) affect dispersal? We investigated this question with stickleback in a mark-recapture experiment in Alaska: dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3... @danielbolnick.bsky.social @nataliesteinel.bsky.social @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social

Does Motility‐Restricting Fibrosis Influence Dispersal? An Experiment in Nature With Threespine Stickleback
Factors that affect dispersal can have important eco-evolutionary implications. Here, we show that an inflammation and tissue repair response—peritoneal fibrosis—does not influence threespine stickle...
