Testing for mito-nuclear incompatibilities in two pairs of hybridizing fish species
This project explores how hybrid fish species use and produce energy by studying interactions between their mitochondrial and nuclear genes. By comparing two fish systems—Cobitis loaches from Europe and Fundulus killifish from North America—the project will identify genetic factors that influence metabolism, stress tolerance, and adaptation to changing environments. These insights are important for understanding how fish respond to climate change and may support more sustainable fisheries and aquaculture practices. The collaboration between the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Université de Moncton brings together complementary expertise in physiology, genomics, and evolutionary biology, creating an enriched international research environment. Both institutions will benefit from shared data, methods, and training opportunities that strengthen long-term scientific partnerships.
