Work from @brynnjohnson13.bsky.social's thesis investigates why neighboring hybrid zones between orangethroat and orangebelly darters followed different trajectories: long-term coexistence vs. collapse. Warming amplifies competitive asymmetry, influencing whether hybrid zones persist or collapse.

Our lab is moving! I’m thrilled to be joining the Department of Ecology & Evolution at the University of Chicago this fall. I’ll be recruiting PhD students so please spread the word and reach out if interested!
