At the IOC this week PhD candidate Natalie Hoffmeister presented some of her work on the population genomics of European (Common) starlings. Her poster covered 1) genome-wide differentiation within North American starlings, and 2) evidence for local adaptation within starling invasions in Australia and the U.S. This work is part of a collaboration to build genomic resources for the Common starling, a project in which she is lucky to work with researchers from the U.K. and Australia.
