Interested in running a conservation genomics research program? The AUL position at the USGS WI Coop (my old job) is open. So many fascinating systems and questions to work on! Network of collaborators is second to none! Msg me with questions. Please RT bit.ly/2ZYjE6n

Check it out! More than ten years of work by many people at MELFU and a great collaboration between Yuma Sandoval-Castillo Katie Gates Steve Smith Louis Bernatchez has been published today in PNASNews. #PNAS #ClimateChange #rainbowfishes pnas.org/content/early/…

Could not hope for a cooler 60th anniversary present: Special Issue with 25 papers put together by 35 alumni & lab members and best colleague Maren Wellenreuther THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ! @GenomeQuebec ESEB fsbi Molecular Ecology American Fisheries Society

The genetic architecture underlying ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is not consistent with the infinitesimal model biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_evobio

Check out our latest pub describing a GTseq panel for walleye out in MER. Nitty gritty details about panel design that will hopefully be useful for folks making their own panels. We highly recommend GTseq chemistry. Great workflow when optimized. rb.gy/rxtox1

Check out this super interesting paper from Garrett McKinney on the genetic basis of age-at-maturity in Chinook salmon! Specific y-chromosome haplotypes linked to large differences in size and age-at-maturity onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Hot of the presses, we use genetics to investigate strain-specific performance of #Muskellunge in #Wisconsin lakes and find that Wisconsin strains outperform the Leech Lake (Minnesota) strain. Wisconsin strain likely better adapted to local environments. rb.gy/pdyez3

A new one in MEC We are rather happy about it. Congrats Yann Dorant and whole team #CNV outperform #SNP to reveal genotype–temperature association in a marine species onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… @Popgen_Papers Molecular Ecology fsbi AFS Genetics Section ESEB SSE
