Postdoctoral position in Forest Genetics at @uni-freiburg.de with a focus on local adaptation and/or stress reaction of trees. The position combines research and teaching (4 SWS), and offers the opportunity to develop an independent research profile (4+ years).

Beyond Mendel: a call to revisit the genotype–phenotype map through new experimental paradigms Abstract. The long-standing notion that genotypes map to phenotypes through simple one gene–one trait relationships continues to shape both research in the

New Perspective!🔥It's fascinating how scientists from different fields but interested in the same question [e.g. genotype-phenoytpe relationship] can have such different perspectives. Here we put in our 2 cents wrt genetic effects being context-dependent, and pheno variation being mostly polygenic

Congrats, Jason! Great work!

I'm super excited to share that this article was published today in Science! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

All made possible by the fantastic group of donors, volunteers and scientists at The American Chestnut Foundation (tacf.org), HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, and our collaborators.

Fun news! @gcbias.bsky.social and I are teaching a 2-week online population genetics workshop this summer to raise money for the Center for Population Biology at UC Davis. We're trying to gauge interest -- please fill this out if you might be interested! And please share broadly!

Check out this preprint. Tianlin Duan led this project during her postdoc with me and Mike Whitlock.

It’s got a lot of stuff in it for those who are interested in the genomics of adaptation

The genomic basis of local adaptation in the white x Engelmann spruce hybrid zone Hybridization between species can occur along repeated zones of contact, providing a powerful natural laboratory for studying the interplay between migration and selection, and for identifying loci in...

I am happy to share my second paper with @samyeaman.bsky.social and collaborators! If you are into hybrid zones and tree genomics, this is for you!

Excited to finally have the pre-print up for this work on evolutionary rescue from my PhD at UBC!

Previous theoretical work on the effects of negative density-dependent growth on evolutionary rescue has uncovered inconsistent results, leading to an incomplete understanding of its influence.

Thank you so much, Katie!!!

I simply stood on the shoulders of giants. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be doing what I love. I could not have asked for a better supervisor @sallyaitken.bsky.social, lab mates, faculty @forestry.ubc.ca, and university! This journey has been amazing! Thank you, Sally!

Hi everybody! Welcome to my page :) I'm a MSc student at UBC. I'm currently studying the evolution of genome structure in Douglas-fir. More broadly, I'm interested in evolution, genomics, climate change & forest genetics!

Great news - we will be searching for a tree physiologist (tenure track) to join the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, UBC Forestry, later this year. Stay tuned! (Please share.)

Adaptation and gene flow are insufficient to rescue a montane plant under climate change Climate change increasingly drives local population dynamics, shifts geographic distributions, and threatens persistence. Gene flow and rapid adaptation could rescue declining populations yet are seld...
