The Laboratory of Adaptive Evolution and Genomics (LEAG) is directed by Professor Alice Dennis. It is one of 4 laboratories belonging to the Environmental and Evolutionary Biology Research Unit (URBE) within the Biology Department. LEAG is also a member of the Institute of Life, Earth and Environment (ILEE).
Research is focused on the genomic basis of adaptive variation. It is studied by comparing genetic and physiological variation between populations and species. This includes differences in temperature tolerance (especially to frost!), response to multiple stress factors, and between parasitoids and their hosts.
