Population genomics of Gyrinophilus porphyriticus

This project was designed to describe fine-scale population genetic differentiation of the stream salamander Gryinophilus porphyriticus among five study streams in the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. Additionally, the data are paired with intensive capture-recapture data to assess direct fitness effects of individual genetic diversity. Specifically, the data were used to investigate effects of individual multilocus heterozygosity on survival during metamorphosis, a sensitive life stage in aquatic salamanders.
