Herbarium specimens spanning over a century of changing climate, however, show evidence of fluctuating selection maintaining this adaptive variation. Drought alleles are selected for in hot, dry years but against in cooler, wetter periods

Ancestry mapping identified a highly polygenic basis of drought tolerance—with loci across nearly all chromosomes experiencing extreme selection and rapid allele frequency change across the length of an extreme drought event

We first combined a drought selection experiment with whole genome sequencing to uncover the genetic basis of drought adaptation in waterhemp across the landscape

Human-mediated land-use and climate change occur simultaneously, but how do they interact to shape adaptive dynamics? Super excited to share the first paper from the Kreiner lab, led by postdoc extraordinaire @rpineau.bsky.social

Caillebotte exhibit on at the Chicago Art Institute is absolutely stunning! This one is featured of course along w a lot of his studies of Paris, but his paintings of folks lounging by bodies of water also had that transportive effect on me!!

hey folks! so looking forward to seeing everyone at @sse-evolution.bsky.social! if you have space on your schedule, come check out the Kreiner lab contigent on Sunday morning in the Adaptation VI symposium.

Promontory point BBQ celebrations marking nearly a year at UChicago and the Carley lab's deployment into the field! Wahoo!

Really great couple of days with the lab group!!!

We are in our second season of collections for an on-field select and resequence experiment with sites across the Midwest, and gearing up for some more herbarium genomic work (perfect time of year to visit @mobotgarden.bsky.social for sampling).

The Kreiner and Carley Labs at @UChicago E&E are co-hiring a Lab Manager/Research Technician position in Plant Evolutionary Ecology & Genomics!

New review from folks in the Rieseberg lab (past and present) on the power of temporal collections for studying invasion biology. Check it out!

Congratulations Patricia!! Fantastic news 🥳

I too am recruiting graduate students, postdocs, and a lab technician for my group at UChicago, starting fall 2024! We will be doing exciting work to uncover the limits of plant adaptation in changing environments.
