Very happy to receive this recognition for work from my dissertation! Could not have done it without my co-authors from URI Graduate School of Oceanography and The Nature Conservancy in Rhode Island!

Another PhD chapter published! Punch line: artificial selection against jacks in threatened Pacific salmon is unlikely to affect female fitness onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/CE8HEIHZ… Evolutionary Applications ryan EEES Dartmouth DartGRAD



Had a chance for a closer read on this one in eLife - the journal - what a great investigation, and fascinating story! Pan et al. 2021. The rise and fall of the ancient northern pike master sex-determining gene. #SexDetermination #bottleneck elifesciences.org/articles/62858


Super excited about our latest on the genomic basis of sockeye ecotypes. We use WGS to show that most but not all islands of divergence are likely underlied by small < 500 kb inversions. Great working with Peter Euclide Yue Shi, PhD and the rest of the team! shorturl.at/dpqL6

Thrilled to have collaborated with Joe Langan @JordanTWatson1 and Skip McKinnell to synthesize 60+ years of INPFC/NPAFC high seas survey data to describe the marine distribution of Pacific salmon and quantify thermal preferences onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… UAF CFOS FishandFisheries




Check out our new paper in NatureEcoEvo! An awesome collaborative effort through Centre For Ecosystem Management showing the productivity-stability trade-off in global food systems doi.org/10.1038/s41559…


🚨 New Paper Alert!🚨 In the early stages of assessing genetic population structure in Pacific Sardine, we detected Japanese Sardine along the west coast of North America for the first time! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me… Wes Larson EllaAdams NOAA Fisheries Salk Institute 1/n
