Seminar abstract:
Giacomo Bernardi’s lab at the University of California Santa Cruz focuses on speciation in fishes, primarily using genomic tools. His work uses population genetic, phylogeographic and molecular ecological approaches on Pacific, Atlantic, and Mediterranean fishes. Giacomo Bernardi also contributes to Long Term Ecological studies on tropical fishes in French Polynesia and Micronesia. His work in Micronesia includes a strong component of work driven by indigenous people to address together reef health issues.
