We are HIRING a post-doctoral Research Associate! Responsibilities include population genomic analyses in Chinook salmon and steelhead. Come work with us in Newport, Oregon. See the full position description: 👉jobs.oregonstate.edu/postings/157267

SFGL's Dr. Kathleen O'Malley coauthored the introductory article of the new Special Issue in @EvolAppJournal on Advances in Salmonid Genetics!! #conservation #salmonids 👉onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ev…

We recently had the pleasure of hosting author/journalist Tom Alkire! Check out his blog post about meeting with us and our lab within @HatfieldMSC ! 👉 tomalkire.com/blog/f/cutting…

SFGL's Dr. Kathleen O'Malley recently interviewed with @KLCCOregon to discuss our recent paper in @EvolAppJournal on Chinook Salmon 🐟🐟 Give it a listen 👂 klcc.org/environment/20…

Hatchery origin Chinook salmon that reproduce in the wild have similar relative reproductive success as wild fish, suggesting that a single generation in the wild increases the fitness of hatchery-reared salmon. doi.org/10.1111/eva.13…

SFGL new research🎉 A single generation in the wild increases fitness for descendants of hatchery-origin Chinook salmon 🐟🐟 @EvolAppJournal 👉onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ev… Check out the press release 👉 beav.es/cut

Marine Science Day! SFGL participated in another successful MSD at @HatfieldMSC. With over 1900 visitors, we fielded lots of great questions (Dr. O'Malley & Dr. @k_olsen_ecoevo )! Can't wait for next year April 12, 2025! 📷cred: Dr. @JMillerOSU

Come join us Saturday April 13th 2024 for Marine Science Day at the Hatfield Marine Science Center! @HatfieldMSC

@taaltree Hey @taaltree ! This research is ongoing. Ben plans to finish up next spring, stay tuned!

@SFG_Lab Is it?

SFGL M.S. student Ben Wiley presented the key question driving his thesis research on monitoring Bull Trout at the ORAFS annual meeting! Environmental DNA (eDNA) is often used to evaluate presence/absence, but is it effective at quantifying relative abundance of target species??

@smbrander @DeltaCouncil @smbrander Weeeeeee! How cool!

Excited to welcome our newest lab members, Oncorhynchus mykiss. We will be looking at the potential effects of fire retardants on rainbow trout for the next couple of yrs. These hatching jars look like a fun ride. @DeltaCouncil #salmonids #wildfireresearch

Hot off the press! Do "half pounders" return as early-, late-summer, or winter run steelhead? SFGL and ODFW found that in Oregon's Rogue River half pounders are a mixed assemblage from all three adult runs. Photo: P. Samarin link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New paper! Leaders in salmonid research, including SFGL’s Dr. Kathleen O’Malley, collaborate in “Implications of Large-Effect Loci for Conservation: A Review and Case Study with Pacific Salmon.” doi.org/10.1093/jhered…

Implications of Large-Effect Loci for Conservation: A Review and Case Study with Pacific Salmon. Just published in #JHered doi.org/10.1093/jhered… Freely available! By Robin Waples, @dpscruz @charrgirl @martykardos and a slew of Pacific fish folk.
