This was one of the first projects I started during the early pandemic days of my PhD and it is incredibly special to have out in the world. I am so grateful to my coauthors for sharing their deep knowledge and enthusiasm for eastern massasaugas with me, and trusting me with this amazing dataset!

While the populations in this study seem to be demographically stable (more on that forthcoming from the Hileman lab at WVU!), this has pressing implications for the conservation of this species, which has seen widespread habitat loss and local extinction across their range.

Inbreeding depression is expected to be ubiquitous but is difficult to document in wild populations. Using targeted genomic data from just over 1000 individuals and capture-recapture models, we find evidence of inbreeding depression on the two major components of fitness—survival and reproduction.

Hi Nevé! If you send me your email, I can add you!

Hi Nevé! If you send me your email, I can add you!
I’m so sorry you’re in this position. None of us can receive money from our awards right now, but I’m not sure if there would be additional ramifications for starting the fellowship. If you send me your email, I can add you to the PRFB slack.
