I'm excited to share that our preprint is now available on bioRxiv! Our study challenges the widespread use of molecular genetic diversity as a predictor adaptive potential, with important implications for how genetic data is used to inform conservation decisions.

A capacity to adapt is essential for a population to avoid extinction in a changing world and is recognised as a global conservation priority. Adaptation requires additive (heritable) genetic variatio...

PhD fellowship available π’!
We are offering a 3-year fully funded PhD fellowship at the interface between functional ecology and quantitative genetics in Montpellier FR ! (Application deadline 31 July)
Pre-print now out on bioRxiv! If you saw my talk at #eseb and want more info, here it is:
Truly grateful to everyone who helped make this into the publication it is. Special thanks to Tristan and Eleonore with which we worked so hard to put together this reference panel and lcWGS dataset, and Jerome who trusted us to.
