The Molecular Ecologist is a website for people interested in the applications of population genetic data in studies of evolution, ecology, and diversity. Contributors are mostly scientists working in the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, and behavior, and we often write about the technical details of research in our fields — but we hope that much of what we cover is also interesting to members of the general public.

In my posts, I mainly concentrate on topics within the scope of palaeogenetics and conservation genetics. I try to encompass everything from discussions on theoretical principles of population genetics, to highlighting new methods and interesting papers.
