Meet the Editorial Team

Louis Bernatchez
Editor-in-Chief

Research interests include genotype by environment interactions, particularly in the context of speciation studies and conservation genetics; utilizes population and quantitative genetics, genetic mapping, functional genomics, behavioural ecology and physiology.

Michelle Tseng
Managing and Founding Editor

Michelle employs empirical studies of insects and their pathogens to examine how environmental heterogeneity mediates the outcome of species interactions at ecological and evolutionary scales.

Troy Day
Associate editor

Mathematical biologist specializing the evolution of the genotypic and phenotypic attributes of individual organisms; his broad interests include evolutionary medicine and the effects of population structure on evolutionary change in human-altered environments.

George Gilchrist
Associate editor

Studies the rate and repeatability of evolution in ecological time. Issues he addresses include: adaptation to a changing climate, responses to biological invasions and the genetic architecture of temperature tolerance.

Jessica Hellmann
Associate editor

Investigates the dynamics of populations and species interactions and their responses to global environmental change; uses insect and plant systems to study global change.

Carol Lee
Associate editor

Explores the physiological and genetic targets of selection during freshwater invasions, particularly in invertebrates; her interest in the evolutionary dynamics at habitat boundaries has broad implications for biological invasions, global change and habitat restoration.

Isabelle Olivieri
Associate editor

Specializes in mathematical modelling from both demographic and evolutionary perspectives; her research expertise includes plant–insect interactions and biological control, conservation and invasion evolutionary biology, life-history evolution, population genetics and speciation.

Craig Primmer
Associate editor

Investigates genetic processes underlying adaptation and speciation; applies research to developing conservation and management guidelines for a wide range of endangered and exploited organisms, including fishes, amphibians and birds.

Thomas Smith
Associate editor

Examines processes maintaining the biodiversity in the tropics; his research covers speciation, role of seed dispersal in rainforest dynamics, population genetics of birds and the evolutionary ecology of disease.

Pete Thrall
Associate editor

Addresses questions pertaining to the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of host–microbe interactions in natural systems; investigations include the role of genetic diversity in host resistance and pathogen infectivity in disease epidemics.
