I worked on salmon for my graduate studies at the University of Washington, and also as a postdoc at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I have continued to collaborate on salmon projects but didn’t have a student focusing primarily on salmonids until Krista Oke, who is currently finishing her PhD in my lab while also collaborating with Tom Quinn. Stayed tuned for her forthcoming papers. In addition, I have recently collaborated on a number of projects with Jacques Labonne at INRA in France, with one of the projects conducted in the Kerguelen Islands. Most recently, I have started collaborative projects with Stephanie Carlson and Sebastien Nussle at the University of California Berkeley.

5. Natural selection acting on stream-dwelling Atlantic salmon in a restoration program

Efforts to restore populations to locations from which they have been extirpated may be hampered by mal-adapation in the introduced group (because they came from a different environment). Estimates of natural selection acing on the new population can be used to deduce mal-adapation and tailor efforts to reduce its effects. We estimated natural selection acting on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) undergoing restoration to the Connecticut River, U.S.A. PDF
