Conservation and Evolutionary Genomics of Canis

Conservation and Evolutionary Genomics of Canis

Project Summary

Species today are the result of many forces at different time scales, from ancient geological events to recent anthropogenic impact (hunting, land use change, etc). We test hypotheses regarding changes in demographics, connectivity and selection in order to better understand how environmental and historical conditions have shaped the populations of these ecologically important species today. These data have implications for our understanding of evolution, speciation, ecology, and for the conservation of species and ecosystems.
