Evolution is fast enough to matter – feature in Nature

Posted onFebruary 3, 2018

Research cooked up with Blake Matthews, Ole Seehausen, and Jaime Anaya-Rojas at Eawag (Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology) is featured in a Nature feature. I can’t tell you what evology is exactly but I did love reading about what several leaders in this field think about its future directions!

Eco-evolutionary dynamics in hybridizing sticklebacks

Posted onSeptember 18, 2017June 13, 2020

A paper about sticklebacks! Years after leaving stickle-rich British Columbia, and also a little while after first heading to Europe to study them there with Blake Matthews and Ole Seehausen. The paper (open access to read) is out in Nature Ecology & Evolution today, along with a behind-the-scenes blog post.

Stickleback stoichiometry paper

Posted onMarch 19, 2017June 13, 2020

Stoichiometric traits of stickleback: Effects of genetic background, rearing environment, and ontogeny – individual stoichiometry has diverged in genetically distinct lineages, but is also strongly determined by rearing environment (via body condition). With colleagues at Eawag and the University of Victoria, open access @ Ecology and Evolution.

New paper in TREE

Posted onFebruary 23, 2017June 13, 2020

Evolution in a Community Context: On Integrating Ecological Interactions and Macroevolution – after many a great conversation with these fantastic co-authors, happy to see this out! It’s always interesting to see how many similar and different ways ecologists and evolutionary biologists can think about the same processes!
