Ecological Genomics of Hadal Amphipods Heather Ritchie 1, Alan J. Jamieson 2 and Stuart B. Piertney 1 1 Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Aberdeen 2 Oceanlab, University of Aberdeen, 1.

Hadal Zone <6000m Hadal trenches form along subduction zones 37 Hadal trenches ~75% Pacific Rim Traditionally thought of as hotspots of endemism but some hadal species have a cosmopolitan distribution. To what extent is there connectivity between hadal trenches? 2

To date… Population structure of two key amphipod species using neutral markers and mitochondrial DNA sequence polymorphism Preliminary data suggests connectivity between trench populations The challenge now is to understand levels of, and mechanisms for, emigration out of the hadal zone, and dispersal across abyssal oceanic regions The Future… Use emerging genomic approaches to examine genetic diversity and patterns of divergence Examine signatures of selection and adaptation and further our understanding of phylogeographical structure 3
