A look at how climate change is impacting sea life at different trophic levels and how this affects food security for Inuit in Nunatsiavut. Featuring collaborative research on Arctic Char by several DFO colleagues 🐟 #GenARCCintheMedia @theglobeandmail.com

Inuit scientists are adapting to a new marine reality as climate change threatens sea life and food security
For Inuit, home is where the harvest is. But rapidly changing ice conditions are threatening their fishing practices

Completed my Wilderness First Responder course with Boreal River Rescue in Cantley, Quebec last week. If you get the chance to take a wilderness medical course with them, I highly recommend it! ❄️🌲 rescue.borealriver.com

Wanting to share our new preprint relevant to the #consgen community! Want to measure runs of homozygosity but don’t have enough depth for Plink or BCFtools? We show that it can be done as low as ~3-5X in ROHan but careful parameterization and interpretation is key: www.authorea.com/users/857111...
Accurate runs of homozygosity estimation from low coverage genome sequences in non-model species
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are increasingly being analyzed using whole genome sequences in non-model species as a measure of inbreeding and to assess demographic history, thus providing useful informa...

I am excited to share that my first Ph.D. chapter has been published in Biological Conservation! We found that avoidance of anthropogenic features by dispersing eastern wolves varied diurnally, seasonally, and across different movement patterns www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Risk avoidance during dispersal: Temporal and behavioral shifts in selection by non-resident eastern wolves (Canis c.f. lycaon)
Dispersal is important for connectivity and persistence of small, disjunct wildlife populations. However, in human-altered landscapes dispersing anima…

I help coordinate the #GenARCC project, a fantastic team of scientists using genomics to help predict impacts of climate change on species and ecosystems. Check out the video below to learn more! 📽️🧬
