British Ecological Society Journals - Blog Associate Editor, Julie Koch Sheard, sits down with the Guest Editors of Journal of Animal Ecology's Special Feature, Understanding climate change response in the age of genomics.
As global temperatures continue to rise, there is a major threat to species and ecosystems worldwide. In order to develop conservation and mitigation strategies, and understanding of how animal populations respond to changing environments is crucial.
Recent genomics-based studies have begun to shed light on the mechanisms by which animal populations respond to climate change and offer methods to predict how they will respond in the future. This Special Feature highlights emerging genomics approaches and their applications across a diverse range of animal species; exploring range shifts, phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation of animal populations. By connecting these topics and their ecological implications, this feature aids researchers in using genomics to understanding climate change response. (link)(blog post) |

Plant & Food Research podcasts 'Fishing For the Answers: applying DNA sequencing to study the species in our oceans': Hoki is one of the most important fish species for the NZ seafood industry. Understanding more about the populations of hoki around NZ is vitally important for the future management and conservation of the species. Andrew Dare speaks with scientists Maren Wellenreuther and David Chagné about the assembly of the hoki genome and how genomic tools were used to get insights into the population structure of this species. This new knowledge can be used to inform management of hoki stocks in New Zealand and showcases the power of genomic approaches in getting insights into the biology of hard to study aquatic species.

Scigest - Plant & Food Research podcasts 'Breed like fish': Seafood breeding and plant breeding have a lot in common. Dr Maren Wellenreuther is harnessing plant breeding knowledge to increase the growth rate and tolerance of trevally and snapper while maintaining the health and genetic diversity of the species in an accelerated breeding programme.
