Evolution is the result of changes in the genetic composition of populations through time. Many of the processes that cause population genetic change are intimately tied to ecological conditions. For example, environmental variation causes populations to drift apart genetically if it impedes movement and can cause populations to diverge adaptively if different traits are selected in different environments. Thus, understanding how ecology produces population genetic change is central to understanding evolutionary patterns in nature. My research integrates population genomics with evolutionary ecology to explain the ways that population genetic structures form, persist, collapse, and change through time. I willuse the colonisations of cities by grey squirrels (

进化是种群遗传组成随时间变化的结果。许多导致种群遗传变化的过程与生态条件密切相关。例如，如果环境变化阻碍了迁移，它会导致种群在遗传上分离;如果在不同的环境中选择了不同的性状，它会导致种群适应性地分化。因此，理解生态学如何产生种群遗传变化是理解自然界进化模式的核心。我的研究将种群基因组学与进化生态学相结合，以解释种群遗传结构的形成，持续，崩溃和随时间变化的方式。我将用灰松鼠在城市的殖民地（
