研究领域

Projects in his research group include understanding how host and pathogen genes interact to influence the severity of infectious disease; how the ecology of an organism influences the evolution of lifespan and ageing; and the contrasting contributions of autosomal and mitochondrial genetic variation to male and female life-history. These projects make use of a variety of species of Daphnia, commonly known as the water-flea. They are small crustaceans that inhabit a range of freshwater habitats from coastal rock-pools to alpine lakes and are found throughout Australia and the rest of the world. The water-flea has been studied in the context of ecology, evolution and ecotoxicology for many years and is now an emerging model system for ecological genomics and the study of gene function in natural environments.
