Congratulations to PhD candidate Anna Jacquemart for being awarded the Exeter-UBCO Sustainability and Resilience Partnership – Visiting Research Student Fellowship. Anna was also recognized by the I.K. Barber Faculty of Science for her recent publication in Evolutionary Applications .

October 2025
Welcome to Molly Garrett and Danielle Schmidt, two new postdoctoral researchers in the ECGL.

September 2025
Welcome to Lee Fenuccio and Tate Linden, two new MSc students in the ECGL. Silke Schonekess, BSc Honours student, presented a poster at the annual NSERC USRA symposium detailing her summer research in the ECGL testing a novel genomic approach to inform Coho salmon fisheries management.

August 2025
A new paper published in Evolutionary Applications demonstrates a novel application of genomic offsets for informing freshwater fisheries management under climate change.

June 2025
Olivia Boven successfully defended her MSc thesis entitled “A spatio-temporal investigation of sockeye-kokanee hybridization in the Okanagan Basin, British Columbia, Canada “. Congratulations, Olivia!

May 2025
Welcome to Silke Schonekess, new NSERC USRA student in the lab genotyping archived scales to investigate their viability for informing close-kin mark recapture enumerations.

February 2025
A new paper published in Molecular Ecology investigates patterns of climate-mediated adaptive genetic variation and predicts the degree of genomic offset under multiple climate change scenarios for a sentinel alpine mammal.
