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.

Water temperatures drive evolution of new species

Our latest seascape genomics study published in Proceedings B helps explaining why the oceans have an amazing diversity of life.  Work done along the South African coast in collaboration with Peter Teske’s team at University of Johannesburg. It is generating a lot of media attention, such as this nice article in IFLS. – Teske, PR, Sandoval-Castillo J, Golla TR, Emami-Khoyi A, Tine M, von der Heyden S, Beheregaray LB (2019) Thermal selection as a driver of marine ecological speciation. Proceedings of the
