Howell et al. used WGS of wild-caught deer mice from two islands and one mainland location in British Columbia to investigate chromosomal inversions and non-equilibrium demographic history of this species.

The Genomic Imprint of Chromosomal Inversions and Demographic History in Island Populations of Deer Mice

Abstract. Populations that colonize islands experience novel selective pressures, fluctuations in size, and changes to their connectivity. Owing to their u

A lot has changed since my #introduction:
Now I'm a #postdoc in Liège (Belgium) trying to figure out how #neuroethology works.
I will be working with two #Peromyscus species.
My focus is the processing of #smell, especially #predator #odours, but most likely also #SocialOdors

I'm still looking for more #AnimalBehaviour, #BehavioralEcology, and #ChemicalEcology folks to follow!
