Relative mountain pine beetle spread-risk ratings for novel habitats based on spread-risk models and risk maps developed using pine host genetic attributes (1) and mountain pine beetle host-influenced overwintering and chemical ecology attributes (2) to predict eastward and northward spread through the Boreal forest
- Population genomic evidence for the degree of rapid mountain pine beetle adaptation to novel habitats
​
​- Aphids (Donovan)
​
- Mosquitos (Marc)
- Microgastrinae parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
-Population Genomics: Analyzing genome-wide variation across populations of plants and pests to infer evolutionary processes like selection, drift, and gene flow.
-Landscape Genomics: Linking genetic variation to environmental variables to understand local adaptation and predict responses to climate change.
