Research
Using DNA collected from water samples (environmental DNA or eDNA), my lab detects species in marine ecosystems. Current work in our laboratory includes long-term monitoring for invasive species and invertebrate biodiversity along Eckerd’s waterfront, detection of rainbow trout for ecosystem management, and ongoing invasive species collaborations with researchers in New England and Canada.
