CEES/AQUA Friday Seminar: Voyages on a rum-powered time machine: the temporal genetics of human impacts on fish

By Dr. Brendan Reid from the Université de Namur, Belgium

Abstract

Genetic time series data provide us with an opportunity to study ongoing evolution in the Anthropocene. I will discuss what two uniquely rich temporal genetic datasets can tell us about how fishing has shaped the genomes of Atlantic cod and how fish specimens in the Philippines have reacted to a century of increasing human impacts, as well as prospects for future temporal genomic research.
