UnknownType
we will collect novel datasets on adaptation to temperature in two species of fish: tubesnout and tidepool sculpin and compare them to existing datasets for threespine stickleback
Purpose
they tend to be characterized by many small alleles distributed throughout the genome. This interplay between ecology and genetics can greatly affect the predicted outcome and repeatability of evolution
but we are only beginning to answer fundamental questions about how it works: How commonly do species adapt to the same kind of environment in different ways? Why does this occur? What maintains the capacity of a species to adapt to changes in its environment? My research program uses computational approaches to explore how genetics can affect the outcome of evolution × Unknown
