Ecological genomics of reef corals
This research direction was spurred by our prior work on coral fluorescence. We are looking at the common Indo-Pacific coral Acropora millepora (which is an emerging coral genomics model) to address
Coral connectivity in Micronesia
Using microsatellite markers that we developed for Acropora millepora and Acropora hyacinthus, we are studying the patterns of genetic exchange between reefs in Micronesia, including Palau,
Oceanic fluorescence and luminescence
We are looking at molecular mechanisms and ecological roles of fluorescence and luminescence (see here for how they are different from each other) in the open ocean and the deep sea. Luminescence is
