Adaptive genetic divergence occurs when selection imposed by the environment causes the
genomic component of the phenotype to differentiate. However, genomic signatures of …

By evaluating genetic variation across the entire genome, one can address existing
questions in a novel way while raising new ones. The latter includes how different local …

Host-associated microbiota can influence host phenotypic variation, fitness and potential to
adapt to local environmental conditions. In turn, both host evolutionary history and the …

Conserving diversity below the species level is vital to maintaining species' adaptive
potential. However, defining intra-specific units for conservation is complex due to the often …

How parasites alter host feeding ecology remains elusive in natural populations. A powerful
approach to investigate the link between infection and feeding ecology is quantifying unique …

Wild populations are facing rapid and sometimes extreme environmental changes that are
currently exacerbated by pressing human activities. A major scientific endeavor is to reveal …

Delphine Legrand is an evolutionary ecologist studying organisms' response to
environmental changes. She accomplished her PhD in Gif-sur-Yvette (France) during which …

Riverine biodiversity is deteriorating rapidly as a result of multiple interacting anthropogenic
pressures. Freshwater species are subject to physico-chemical pollution originating from …
