NERC E4 Inferring the role of sexual and natural selection in speciation by studying genomics of colouration in strawberry poison frogs

University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. How does natural and sexual selection interact to produce biological diversity? Can different predator avoidance strategies drive speciation if they are coupled with assortative mating? We will use the charismatic strawberry poison frogs to study the genomics of these processes. Read more
