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 www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

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

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…
