Dr Domino Joyce

Domino became interested in conservation genetics during her undergraduate degree, working on UK butterflies with Natural England for her PhD and first post doc. Trying to better understand adaptive change lead to a switch in allegiance from insects to fishes (although she still has a soft spot for insects) and she worked with Prof. Ole Seehausen first at Hull and then in Lucerne, Switzerland before being awarded a Leverhulme Fellowship to work on "bower-building" cichlid fishes. She became a lecturer at Hull in 2010 and enjoys teaching evolution and behaviour (among other things).
