About the Blog Author: Colby Behrens is a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the lab of Dr. Alison Bell. Colby is interested in the evolution of behaviors and the underlying genetic mechanisms that regulate them. He uses three-spined stickleback fish to explore these patterns. […]
About the Blog Author Shelby Tisinai is a PhD Candidate with Dr. Jeremiah Busch 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. Follow Shelby on Twitter @s_tisinai for updates on her work. […]
About the Blog Author Dr. Jennifer Hoey is an evolutionary ecologist and NSF-OCE Postdoctoral Fellow in the Reefscape Genomics Lab at the California Academy of Sciences. She studies how marine organisms adapt to changing conditions by investigating the evolutionary processes that contribute to genomic and morphological patterns of variation in the sea. Follow […]
About the author Brock Mashburn is a PhD Candidate at Washington University in St. Louis and the Missouri Botanical Garden, working in the labs of Dr. Christine Edwards and Dr. Ken Olsen. He is interested in applying genetic methods to practical conservation, as well as questions regarding speciation and biogeography. […]
About the author Julia Harenčár is an evolutionary biologist passionate about combining ecology with genomics to understand plants. She is a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Santa Cruz in Dr. Kathleen Kay’s Plant Evolution lab. The story behind our recent article is riddled with modern science clichés; […]
About the Author Dr. Chase H. Smith is an evolutionary biologist and a leader in understanding aspects of the biology, ecology, evolution, and conservation of freshwater mussels. Currently he is a research fellow at the University of Texas at Austin mentored by Drs. Justin Havird, David Hillis, and Mark Kirkpatrick where he […]
About the Blog Author: Jeremy is an evolutionary ecologist and NSF postdoctoral fellow working with Catherine Linnen at the University of Kentucky Department of Biology. He is broadly interested in adaptation, speciation, population genomics and chemical ecology of insects. Follow him on Twitter @flydrocarbon.
