Recent research has shown that many species can adapt to novel environments in just a few generations. Understanding which species can adapt to those environments and why is critical for successful conservation and management actions. Learn more here.
Genetic diversity is crucial for populations to respond to threats such as novel diseases and climate change. Understanding how extrinsic (e.g., management actions) and intrinsic (e.g., genomic architecture) factors affect genetic diversity is one our research priorities. Learn more here.
Many species undergo dispersal at different stages of their life cycle. This dispersal can connect populations and ultimately change ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Learn more here.
