New pre-print available (doi.org/10.1101/2025...)! We explore the colonisation history of Arctic charr in Scotland uncovering several distinct sub-lineages and patterns influenced by asynchronous ice coverage at the end of the last ice age!
The historical patterns that have shaped contemporary genetic differentiation across populations of Arctic charr in Scotland
Glacial history is an important contributor to contemporary biogeographic patterns because it caused population fragmentation and consequently diversification. The Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is...

Excited that the latest work from my PhD is available as a pre-print! (doi.org/10.1101/2025...)
We explore the challenges in delineating conservation units within highly diverse species using the salmonid species Arctic charr as a study system!
Defining conservation units in a highly diverse species: A case on Arctic charr
Defining appropriate conservation units is crucial to the protection and management of biodiversity. These delineations deliver further benefit when they encompass assessments of population vulnerabil...

We are hiring a postdoc to work on a data-rich evolutionary genomics project about origins & maintenance of viviparity vs oviparity. Details in advert and evoldir. @physiologyuog.bsky.social @uofgsbohvm.bsky.social @uofgmvls.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social please re-sky!

Interested in learning about what environmental factors are key to facilitating higher levels of phenotypic and genetic diversity? Then check out the most recent paper from my PhD (doi.org/10.1093/evol...) where we explored the importance of ecological opportunity in the diversity of Arctic charr!
Ecological opportunity leads to higher diversity and probability of trophic specialization in Arctic charr
Abstract. Understanding the extrinsic factors that drive the emergence of biological diversity is critical to its protection and management. However, even
