Joris Philip

Joris Philip is a Postgraduate Research Student at the University of Glasgow, working from Room 411 in the Graham Kerr Building. His research focuses on evolutionary ecology with particular emphasis on salmonid fishes, specifically investigating molecular mechanisms of parallel ecological speciation in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus).

His research interests span evolutionary ecology, genomics, behavioral ecology, and quantitative genetics, with publications consistently examining animal personality, environmental adaptation, and genetic mechanisms in fish species. His work demonstrates a strong interdisciplinary approach combining laboratory and field studies to understand how evolutionary history, genotype, and environmental factors shape behavioral and physiological traits.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a clear research trajectory focused on fish behavioral ecology and evolutionary adaptation, with particular attention to Arctic charr and allis shad. His work examines how environmental complexity influences personality development, how feeding modalities affect phenotypic plasticity, and how fish species tolerate environmental stressors.
