HiLIFE webinar: Eline Lorenzen

​Arctic marine mammals in a post Arctic world

The main focus of Eline Lorenzen’s research is molecular ecology of large mammals (megafauna), and I am broadly interested in how climate change, environmental shifts, and human impact have affected the past and present abundance, distribution and evolution of megafauna species and communities. So far, my work has encompassed three overall areas: (i) continental-scale biogeography, (ii) past demographic inference using ancient DNA, and (iii) demographic inference and signals of natural selection using population genomics.  

Welcome to this exciting seminar!
