PhD: Understanding changes in migration timing in Scotland’s Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).
Supervisor: Dr. Victoria Pritchard
My academic background is in evolutionary biology, specifically population and quantitative genetics. I am mainly interested in the extent to which phenotypic traits vary as a result of ecological and evolutionary forces.
Research interests:
- Quantitative Genetics
- Population Genetics
- Evolutionary Ecology
Past projects :
- Investigating the impacts of anthropogenic selection on antler size as a result of selective harvest (trophy hunting) in red deer (Cervus elaphus)
- Identifying the historical, environmental and anthropogenic variables influencing genetic diversity and differentiation between contemporary Scottish Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations.
