This includes understanding how genetic, environmental, ecological, and stochastic factors work in concert to produce the flabbergasting diversity we often see below the species level in fish. New research in our lab will continue to address questions relevant to the evolution, conservation, and management of fishes and fisheries.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>PEOPLES, FISHES, AND PLACES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The relationships between Peoples and fishes (i.e., fishing practices, knowledge, adaptations to specific environments, cultural significance of fish and fishing) are as diverse and dynamic as fishes themselves. In fisheries management, however, these relationships are often overlooked, meaning that current approaches rarely integrate diverse knowledge systems or perspectives. As fishery stewards begin to recognize the value of integrating diverse knowledge systems and perspectives in decision making, we focus on developing approaches and tools to better understand and preserve biocultural diversity associated with inland fishes. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tbernos\/files\/2025\/10\/95_20100119_1842509576-300x194.jpg\" alt=\"Photo from \" class=\"wp-image-57\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tbernos\/files\/2025\/10\/95_20100119_1842509576-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tbernos\/files\/2025\/10\/95_20100119_1842509576.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Picture from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pathoftheelders.com\">https:\/\/www.pathoftheelders.com<\/a>: Cree men setting a gillnet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POPULATION DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGY Our research often focuses on the processes generating and maintaining variation in traits and genes between populations of the same species.
