Evolution & adaptation
Genomic responses to environmental gradients, life-history variation and rapid environmental change.
Research
Genomes, populations & changing environments.
Our research uses genomic and ecological approaches to understand adaptation, connectivity and resilience in aquatic species, and to translate that evidence into conservation and fisheries science.
Conservation genomics
Population structure, connectivity, distinctiveness and genomic diversity relevant to conservation.
Climate resilience
Genomic vulnerability, environmental change, ecological forecasting and adaptation across northern aquatic systems.
Fisheries genomics
Stock structure, species identification, monitoring and genomic tools that support sustainable fisheries.
Laboratory genomics
From biological samples to genomic data.
Approaches
Integrating genomics with ecology.
Whole-genome sequencing, pangenomics, environmental DNA, telemetry and environmental modelling allow us to connect genetic variation with movement, habitat and environmental change.
