Very excited to have my latest paper published in @biojlinnsoc.bsky.social We explored the colonisation history and genetic differentiation of Arctic charr in Scotland identifying cross-catchment patterns facilitated by ice-dammed lakes at the end of the last ice age

Excited that the latest work from my PhD is available as a pre-print! (doi.org/10.1101/2025...)
We explore the challenges in delineating conservation units within highly diverse species using the salmonid species Arctic charr as a study system!
Interested in learning about what environmental factors are key to facilitating higher levels of phenotypic and genetic diversity? Then check out the most recent paper from my PhD (doi.org/10.1093/evol...) where we explored the importance of ecological opportunity in the diversity of Arctic charr!
New pre-print available (doi.org/10.1101/2025...)! We explore the colonisation history of Arctic charr in Scotland uncovering several distinct sub-lineages and patterns influenced by asynchronous ice coverage at the end of the last ice age!
A bit of holiday reading! I'm excited that my latest paper is now published in @evolappjournal.bsky.social! Read as we explore the delineation of conservation units and assessments of vulnerability in highly diverse species (doi.org/10.1111/eva....)
Delineation of conservation units and assessments of pop. vulnerability are key to protection of intraspecific diversity. A new study shows why multiple vulnerability measures and accounting for high levels of population differentiation are key to Arctic charr conservation 🐟 @thefentagon.bsky.social
new paper out (the "big" PhD chapter) led by @thefentagon.bsky.social Sam Fenton shows how conservation risk varies across locations and the first broad scale assessment of the high diversity of Scotland's Arctic charr.
We are hiring a postdoc to work on a data-rich evolutionary genomics project about origins & maintenance of viviparity vs oviparity. Details in advert and evoldir. @physiologyuog.bsky.social @uofgsbohvm.bsky.social @uofgmvls.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social please re-sky!
💡 Dr Sam Fenton @thefentagon.bsky.social is a population geneticist who joined the lab in 11/2024. Having previously worked on a range of different systems, his work in the group focuses on using #wholegenomesequencing #WGS to test the efficacy of drugs tackling #Onchocerciasis (#RiverBlindness)🌟
new paper out today! led by @thefentagon.bsky.social national-level diversity of Arctic charr in Scotland 🐟 🧬 genetic footprints of glacial lakes found in today's pops spanning central divide 👀 🐟 #openaccess paper in @biojlinnsoc.bsky.social @profcolinbean.bsky.social @ColinEAdams
