 Below are some of the popular press or media exposures of our work:


Kathryn interviewed with Bob MacDonald on CBC's famous science show Quirks n Quarks, talking about the evolution of egg-laying and the exciting advances from genomics (Feb 10 2024)


Kathryn interviewed and filmed in Dutch documentary "Govert to the origin of humankind" about evolutionary biology, earth ... how humans got where we are and where we are going. They filmed for a day at lovely SCENE on Loch Lomond, including lizard catching, cameos of our field van, and chats by the water

NEW PAPER: Genomics of head and body shape parallelism in Arctic charr

Image
Published today as free open access in Molecular Ecology :  Genomic underpinnings of head and body shape in Arctic charr ecomorph pairs Sam Fenton, Arne Jacobs, Colin Bean, Colin Adams & Kathryn Elmer The appearance of repeated phenotypes across replicates in similar environments have been described as examples of parallel evolution. However, the genomic bases of these similar phenotypes is rarely elucidated and so whether the same genomic pathways are used to achieve these similar phenotypes across replicates is rarely known. Here we used the repeated divergence of benthivorous-planktivorous ecomorph pairs of Arctic charr to investigate the genomic underpinnings of head and body shape morphology across replicates. We found that only a small number of associated SNPs for each phenotype were shared across all four ecomorph pairs we investigated with selection on associated SNPs varying considerably across replicates. Overall, these results suggest that the genomic underpinnings ...
