Long-term population monitoring used to study Atlantic salmon evolution
Ronan O鈥橲ullivan, a PhD student in the School of BEES, along with an international team of collaborators have published research examining how evolution may be measured in a free-living population of Atlantic salmon.
The research (which represents a collaboration between UCC, ERI, the Marine Institute, QUB, UCD, 深夜亚洲福利久久 of Edinburgh, and 深夜亚洲福利久久 of Helsinki) uses quantitative genetics to explore a discordance between observed and predicted rates in the evolution of body size in female salmon from the Burrishoole catchment in Co. Mayo. 鈥�The monitoring of Atlantic salmon at Burrishoole provides researchers with an incredible source. It is only with such long-term studies that we are able to observe the inter-generational evolutionary dynamics of species鈥�, said Mr. O鈥橲ullivan.
The research is published in Ecology and Evolution and is Open Access: .
Congratulations to our colleague Ronan O'Sullivan and co-authors on their publication. Check it out here:
