Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Christie Lab. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
The Christie Lab focuses on understanding how species adapt to novel environments across generations, which is critical for successful conservation management actions. Recent research emphasizes the importance of genetic diversity in populations, particularly in response to threats such as novel diseases and climate change. The lab investigates both extrinsic factors, like management actions, and intrinsic factors, such as genomic architecture, that influence genetic diversity. Furthermore, the lab studies population connectivity and how dispersal impacts the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of species, with a focus on strategies for rescue and recovery of populations facing extinction. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the demographic, evolutionary, and genetic factors involved in species survival.
