Research Contribution Acknowledgement

Summary

The research I’ve helped with while working as a part-time Research Assistant at Hong Kong University has finally been published. I’ve made some minor contributions in specimen collection and providing a photo of the loach itself which was used in the paper. It made me very happy.

The paper is called “Ecological genetics of isolated loach populations indicate compromised adaptive potential”. It is very interesting, please read it if you are at all interested in evolution, genetic diversity, or fish!
