I am excited to be back on campus and having the opportunity to get into the lab this week. Despite some challenges with coordinating time and space on campus, I am in the office and eager to begin processing tissue samples for this project. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and donated to our work. We still have a couple more weeks to reach out funding goal and I am optimistic that we can make it there!
About This Project
Freshwater fish account for a quarter of the world’s vertebrate species and are critical to maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting local communities. However, freshwater fish remain one of the most vulnerable taxa to climate change, with over 1/3 of species threatened with extinction. How will fish adapt and survive in response to climate change? We are attempting to answer this question by examining the underlying genetic variation that enables populations adapt to thermal stress.
