Ed Kluen (previously at LUOMAS Natural History Museum) and Katja Rönkä (who recently graduated from University of Jyväskylä) will be working with Rose Thorogood on a project investigating how social environments change during a species' range expansion, and whether this affects their defences against a brood parasite.
Pierre Nouhaud will be working with Jonna Kulmuni to determine the locations of genomic islands of speciation. If you would like to know more, click on their names above or see the Research areas [Ed & Katja: Information ecology & co-evolution, Pierre: Speciation in ants].
