Further information

I am interested in using contemporary molecular tools to address diverse questions focusing on biodiversity, ecology and evolution. I am testing a range of hypotheses regarding the alpha and beta diversity of macro-, meio- and microbial communities in space and time. Focal environments include estuarine, coastal, freshwater, terrestrial and the deep sea, in order to understand the drivers of diversity in natural communities. Additional activities include the investigation of transcriptomic responses to environmental peturbation, mitogenomics and marker development for population genetic studies. These projects facilitate the investigation of links between biodiversity and ecosystem processes, understanding environmental genomic responses to change/adaptive evolution and the advancement of the field of phylogenetics.
