• Challenges for marine mega-fauna

    We work at the interface between global change ecology, population dynamics and evolutionary biology.

    We work at the interface between global change ecology, population dynamics and evolutionary biology. Our active areas of research include:

     

    • Investigating the efficiency of sea turtle adaptive mechanisms to climate change
    • Examining recent adaptive responses to local conditions vs distant evolutionary events on structuring the climatic niche of sea turtles
    • Estimating population viability and global trends
    • Prioritizing global conservation efforts and identifying risk hotspots for sea turtles
