Submitted another manuscript today- really excited for this one to come out- “Broken Barriers: Genetic Swamping in a Restored Brook Trout Population”. We examined multi-source stocked restoration site with one-way migration and examined how the landscape impacted the mixture of source populations.

Volunteered for the Trout Unlimited Youth Trout Camp at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Enjoyed spending the morning and explaining conservation genetics to the next generation 😃

Does anyone have suggestions for Travel grants or awards that are not conference specific? Trying to get my travels funded to attend #AFS154 in Honolulu!

So honored to work with an elite group of hard working scientist on my first first-authored publication. doi.org/10.1007/s105...
Genetic structure of restored Brook Trout populations in the Southern Appalachian Mountains indicates successful reintroductions - Conservation Genetics
Wildlife reintroduction is an important conservation tool for threatened species, yet identifying appropriate source populations poses a challenge. In particular, the possibility of outbreeding depres...
