EECG Epilogue: Schistocephalus solidus as a puppet master – Can this parasite manipulate the behavior of its threespine stickleback host?
About the Blog Author: Chloé Berger is a Postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of integrative and systems biology at Laval University, Québec Canada. She is interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying biodiversity and adaptations of organisms in their environments. During her PhD with Nadia Aubin-Horth, she worked on host behavior manipulation and used molecular/functional approaches […]
EECG Epilogue: Genomic investigations of big fish in a really big lake
About the Blog Author: Jessi Rick is a PhD candidate in Dr. Katie Wagner’s lab and the University of Wyoming’s Program in Ecology. She is fascinated by how environmental change drives both micro- and macroevolution. She completed a BS in Organismal Biology at the University of Arizona and an MS in Integrated Biosciences from the University […]

About the Author: Marisa Lim is a bioinformatics training postdoctoral scholar at the University of California at Davis. Her past research has covered a range of topics from conservation genetics and high-elevation adaptation to species identification tool optimization. Read more on her website! She currently thinks about how to improve computational biology training for researchers […]
Behind the Science: Capitalizing on NGS to Investigate Adaptations to Global Change in Pikas
About the Author: Katherine Solari is a Postdoctoral researcher and the Associate Director of Genomics for the Program for Conservation Genomics at Stanford University. Her PhD research with Elizabeth Hadly focused on investigating the mechanisms underlying hypoxia tolerance in pikas (genus Ochotona). Her current work with the Program for Conservation Genomics focuses on developing genomic-based tools […]
Behind the Science: Genes, behavior, and chipping away at how they are linked
About the Author: Dr. Christopher Cunningham is a Senior Research Associate in the Department of Entomology at the University of Georgia. Chris is interested in the understanding the genomic mechanisms that underpin behavior. Every animal has to respond to environmental changes. This is true of their social environment as any other, which […]
EECG Embarkation: More than meets the rattle: What can sensory systems tell us about venom evolution?
**The AGA grants EECG Research Awards each year to graduate and post-doctoral researchers who are at a critical point in their research, where additional funds would allow them to conclude their research project and prepare it for publication. EECG awardees also get the opportunity to hone their science communication and write three posts over their […]
