Post-doc at UNIL | Inbreeding depression and quant gen in wild populations 🦉🦌 .. occasionally dabbling in popgen | Happiest when gallivanting outside 🏃‍♀️🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏔 | She / her
Thanks to my amazing supervisors: Josephine Pemberton and @susanjohnston.bsky.social , and my lovely co-authors too Greg Albery and @seanofrum.bsky.social and Ali Morris at @rumdeerresearch.bsky.social

Slightly surreal that the PhD is now 'officially' finished ... but who knows 😉

💪 BUT ... there's always lessons to be learnt about power, and turns out you need a lot of variation in environmental conditions as well as inbreeding (hence why it's rarely been found in the wild), which we discuss too

📈 We show that inbreeding depression is worse in the harsh northern regions of the study area where survival is lower, indicating that the severity of inbreeding depression changes across fine-scale environments (i.e. ID × E)

Only a few studies have shown evidence for this interaction in the wild!
