We use information from genomics and environmental sciences to address pure and applied research questions in conservation management, ecology and evolution.
Our emphasis is on aquatic animals (particularly fishes, marine mammals and invertebrates) – but we also enjoy working with terrestrial organisms! We do fieldwork in Australia and in several other regions including Amazonia, Patagonia, Gulf of California, southern Africa, Pampas, Cerrado, Galapagos, Indo-Pacific and Antarctica .

The reintroduced population maintained its genetic diversity, fitness, and adaptive potential after 8 generations in the wild!
