Spatial and temporal variation in macroparasite communities of three-spined stickleback (2016)
Journal Article

Patterns in parasite community structure are often observed in natural systems and an important question in parasite ecology is whether such patterns are repeatable across time and space. Field studies commonly look at spatial or temporal repeatabili... Read More about Spatial and temporal variation in macroparasite communities of three-spined stickleback.

Parasites contribute to ecologically dependent postmating isolation in the adaptive radiation of three-spined stickleback. (2016)
Journal Article

Spatial variation in parasitic infections is common, and has the potential to drive population divergence and reproductive isolation of hosts. However, despite support from theory and model laboratory systems, not much strong evidence has been forthc...

The ecology of an adaptive radiation of three-spined stickleback from North Uist, Scotland (2016)
Journal Article

There has been a large focus on the genetics of traits involved in adaptation, but knowledge of the environmental variables leading to adaptive changes is surprisingly poor. Combined use of environmental data with morphological and genomic data shoul... Read More about The ecology of an adaptive radiation of three-spined stickleback from North Uist, Scotland.

Measuring the immune system of the three-spined stickleback: investigating natural variation by quantifying immune expression in the laboratory and the wild (2015)
Journal Article

Current understanding of the immune system comes primarily from lab-based studies. There has been substantial interest in examining how it functions in the wild, but studies have been limited by a lack of appropriate assays and study species. The thr...
