Evolution conservation and genomics

The group's research program aims to understand the molecular and ecological processes underlying evolutionary adaptation using fish species such as Atlantic salmon as models. Ongoing topics of research include:

• The genetic architecture of life-history variation: functional mechanisms & implications for evolution
• Age at maturity in Atlantic salmon: molecular and ecological dissection of an adaptive trait.
