About the author Daniel Estévez-Barcia is a postdoctoral researcher at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources working in collaboration with several institutions of marine research in the North Atlantic. His work focuses on applying population genomics to fisheries and studying the evolutionary biology and behavior of marine organisms (chiefly fish). Together with other researchers in […]
About the author Shelby Tisinai is a PhD Candidate in the Busch Lab at Washington State University. She is currently using molecular techniques to explore environmental and genomic drivers of local adaptation in plant populations endemic to steep elevational gradients. “It’s called research because you always have to redo it.” A cynical statement formed from […]
About the author Michael Yuan (he/him) is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Biodiversity Science and Sustainability at the California Academy of Sciences working with Dr. Rayna Bell and Dr. Lauren Esposito. His work is focused on the evolutionary ecology and conservation of reptiles and amphibians, particularly in the Caribbean. Learn more at his […]
About the author, our 2024 Best Student Paper Awardee: Isabella M. Reeves is a PhD Candidate in evolutionary ecology based at Flinders University. Her thesis focuses on using genomic and biochemical tools to understand how the evolution of populations has affected their behavior and ecology, with a focus on killer whales. Globally, human-wildlife cooperative relationships […]
Check out his website and Bluesky (@drpintothe2nd.bsky.social). Can you provide an overview of your background and experience in evolutionary biology? What motivated you to pursue a career in this field? My interest in evolutionary biology broadly was sparked at a fairly young age while trying to reconcile what I was being taught as true in […]
