    Individual-based models reveal thermal refuges insufficient for brown trout survival during extreme heat events, predicting up to 86% mortality despite refuge availability. New paper! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

    Thanks to decades of catch-and-release fishing and shifting ecological factors, Lake St. Clair has become a world-class destination for smallmouth bass, just in time for the 2025 Yokohama Tire Bassmaster Elite tournament. 🎣

    I am still looking for a Master's student to join my lab at Northern Michigan University in fall 2025. Please get in touch if you are interested, and share with keen students interested in fish, genetics, or evolution!

    Image of a poster with a photo of a lake beneath blue sky. Poster text: Graduate position in freshwater fish evolution. The Mandeville Lab at Northern Michigan University is recruiting a MS student to work on the evolutionary genomics of freshwater fish (fall 2025). Research in our lab group focuses on how evolutionary processes shape freshwater fish biodiversity. Specific focus areas include hybridization, effects of anthropogenic disturbance, population connectivity, and the evolution of fish sex determination mechanisms. Project topic will depend on the interests of the successful candidate. Ongoing work in the lab includes evolution of hybrid unisexual dace lineages, leuciscid minnow hybridization or demography in response to anthropogenic change, and genetic diversity or population connectivity of lake whitefish. Candidates interested in evolution, fish biology, ecology, genetics, conservation, or related fields are encouraged to apply. Desired qualifications include the ability to balance working independently and collaboratively, excellent work habits, and strong writing skills. Projects will involve analysis of high resolution genomic data, requiring computational approaches and high performance com- puting. No prior computational experience is required, but applicants must be enthusiastic about building their computational skills. The Mandeville Lab aims to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion, and encourages applications from students who are members of historically excluded or marginalized groups. NMU is located in Marquette, Michigan, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Marquette is a small but vibrant city on the southern shore of Lake Superior, located close to beautiful natural areas. To apply, please send a letter of interest, CV, unofficial transcript, and contact information for 3 references to Dr. Liz Mandeville, lmandevi@nmu.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until a suitable candidate is identified.
