MacColl Stickleback Lab

New MacColl lab paper "On the origins of phenotypic parallelism in benthic and limnetic stickleback" in Molecular Biology & Evolution @MolBioEvol doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msad1…

Thanks very much to @MeropsField for their many contributions to the UoN Biodiversity field course in the Cevennes: very warm welcome, great food and wonderful biodiversity.

Did the benthic and limnetic stickleback in BC have a single origin? Manuscript now on @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New MacColl lab paper "Courtship behaviour, nesting microhabitat and assortative mating in sympatric stickleback species pairs" in Ecology and Evolution onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Parallelism provides evidence of natural selection, but studies with pre-selected taxon pairs are likely biased. We demonstrate parallelism in an intercontinental study of #stickleback, without bias. Congratulations Isabel Magalhaes, @jimwhiting_sci , @DanDagostino_ et al.

New #PhD opportunity in the MacColl Lab Functional consequences of #mitochondria variation in #stickleback Fun, fishy fieldwork and physiology envision-dtp.org/projects/ findaphd.com/phds/program/en… @lisalabbook @Making_Ripples @sos_bangor_uni @UoNLifeSci #Evolution #Ecology #Genetics

A new paper by Jim Whiting shows for the first time that summer day length results in changes to immune function in fish and a reduced ability to resist a parasitic infection, probably as a consequence of inducing breeding condition royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

The MacColl lab has a new manuscript out, describing genomic parallelism across multiple adaptive radiations of stickleback in Alaska, British Columbia, Scotland and Iceland: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

#MerryChristmas from all at the @MacColl_Lab 🎅🤶🦌🥂🌨

We've got another fantastic PhD opportunity in the @MacColl_Lab for a strongly mathmatically minded biologist or a maths / physics / engineering graduate with a penchant for evolutionary biology! findaphd.com/search/ProjectD…
