Arctic Charr and Evolutionary Biology with Dr. Kalina Kapralova

In this episode of SciLux, we visit the world of evolutionary biology with Dr. Kalina Kapralova from the University of Iceland. Dr. Kapralova studies Arctic charr in the unique environment of Iceland's lakes and together we explore the intricacies of evolutionary biology, discussing adaptive divergence, parallel evolution, and the process of speciation. Dr. Kapralova also sheds light on the impact of climate change on salmonid species and the potential for adaptation in the face of rapidly changing environments. A fully charged episode!
