Abstract:

The laboratory of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Genomics (LBEG), formerly known as the laboratory of Animal Diversity and Systematics, was founded in 1986. During its existence, the research focus has shifted from taxonomy and systematics of vertebrates towards the study of biodiversity and evolution of vertebrates.

Currently the laboratory leads and participates in research projects with a focus on the interface between ecology and evolution. Specific topics include the genetic structure of fish populations, connectivity, the co-evolution between fish hosts and parasites, the tracing and identification of fish, the effects of phenotypic plasticity of adaptation and selection, the sustainable management of the North Sea, and the impact of anthropogenic activities on fish populations, with a specific focus on pollutants as a selective agent. Geographically, research is performed in the European seas and the Southern Ocean. LBEG participates in a broad portfolio of European and national projects and cooperates closely with the University of Padova, University of Santiago de Compostella, DTU-Aqua, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology, IMARES and Ifremer.

The current marine topics studied by the laboratory are:

seascape genomics: mechanisms behind oceanic environmental variation and the emergence and maintenance of locally adapted populations;

parasite infections and global change: study of the molecular evolution and transmission dynamics of Schistosoma and modelling of the distribution of its intermediate snail hosts;
dynamics of freshwater fishes in changing environments: study of how barriers influence the riverscape of fish and what the impact is of environmental mercury on the genome of three-spined sticklebacks;

genomics for users, seafood tracing and aquaculture genetics: performing for end-users high-throughpunt metabarcoding, metagenomics, transcriptome sequencing, marker development, genome data mining and genome data analysis.
