Research description
I study the population ecology, life history evolution, and environmental pressures on Arctic charr populations in cave ponds near Mývatn. I am constructing pedigrees using DNA collected during monitoring since 2012, and using them to determine the relative importance of random variation, population-specific factors, and shared environmental factors across the landscape in shaping selection in these ponds. |
