My current research focuses on

• Connectivity and population structure, emphasising conservation and fisheries management applications,
• Acclimation and adaptation of tropical fishes to environmental stressors, and
• Reef fish evolutionary history and response to environmental change, including identification, characterization and expression of candidate genes.
• Transgenerational acclimation to stress and the utility of epigenetic mechanisms, applied to coral reef fishes.
