Experimental harvesting reduces gene expression variation

Posted on 10 Aug, 2017 by Reid Brennan

Human activities represent unique selective pressures for natural populations. This is especially true for fish species where we routinely harvest individuals from the wild, i.e., through fishing. It has been recognized for some time that overfishing can result in population … Continue reading →

Transcriptomics in the wild (populations)

Posted on 6 Jan, 2015 by Noah Snyder-Mackler

The genomics revolution is coming has already come. The past decade has seen countless advances in genomic techniques – many of which are now commonly found in any molecular ecologist’s toolbox. For example, instead of measuring gene expression in one … Continue reading →
