Project

marine community ecology using eDNA
I am comparing traditional survey methods (seining and visual surveys) to eDNA results in nearshore habitats on the Central Coast of British Columbia. I am using these surveys to answer fundamental questions about patterns of biodiversity in complex nearshore marine systems and in the context of a changing climate.
