Lani finds phenotypic evidence for population adaptation to thermal stress in her snails (J. Exp. Mar. Biol. Ecol.).
Ricardo documents transgressive segregation in Tigriopus: Hybrid lines between two thermal tolerant populations are even more tolerant than the parentals (Evolution). Felipe shows that Tigriopus hybrids with low fitness are suffering from oxidative stress (Proc. Roy. Soc.) Carolina finds that Antarctic fur seals recolonizing Cape Shirreff are genetically divergent from the presumed source population in South Georgia (Ecology and Evolution). Click here for full listings. Felipe and Molly Burke (fellow UC Irvine Ph.D.) are married! Congratulations!!
Lani (3rd year) successfully advances to candidacy for her Ph.D. Por and Alice (both 1st year) pass their first year exams. Six lab members present talks or posters at the Society for the Study of Evolution meeting in Snowbird, Utah. Carolina Bonin has successfully defends her dissertation on the population genetics and mating system of Antarctic fur seals. Congratulations Dr. Carolina!!
"Collaborative Research: Ecological genomics of stress response in an intertidal copepod" (2012-2015) Funding for sequencing the genome of the copepod Tigriopus californicus, RNA-seq and QTL mapping in collaboration with the labs of Suzanne Edmands (USC) an Chris Willet (UNC).
