I am excited to be teaching a new course about rapid evolution in the Anthropocene at Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre this summer with @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social.

Registration for undergrads will open soon at : bamfieldmsc.com/education/pr...

Check out our new paper with @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social @lucaseckert.bsky.social, Rowan Barrett, and Tom Reimchen.

After a severe drought, a listed population of unarmoured stickleback became mostly armoured.

How does fibrosis (an inflammation and tissue repair response) affect dispersal? We investigated this question with stickleback in a mark-recapture experiment in Alaska: dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3... @danielbolnick.bsky.social @nataliesteinel.bsky.social @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social
Does Motility‐Restricting Fibrosis Influence Dispersal? An Experiment in Nature With Threespine Stickleback
Factors that affect dispersal can have important eco-evolutionary implications. Here, we show that an inflammation and tissue repair response—peritoneal fibrosis—does not influence threespine stickle...
