DetailsAbbottCathrynMy academic training was in evolutionary genetics with a focus on vertebrate population genetics and phylogeography. I am interested in: understanding how genetic diversity is apportioned at the within species level in natural populations; deciphering the mechanisms driving its distribution; and using this information to answer a wide variety of applied environmental and ecological questions including to facilitate resource and conservation management. Current projects include research into the taxonomy and phylogeography of Pacifastacus crayfish in the Pacific Northwest and invasion genetics and mode of spread of the Didemnum vexillum.

DetailsAntunesPedro community ecology, plant-soil microbe interactions, invasive species biology and ecology
DetailsAYYAPPAKUTTYSURESHMy study mainly focus in invasive species distribution, quarantine measures, the study at policy level etc. Study of ecology and invasion dynamics of Mimosa diplotricha, an aggressive invader, native of Brazil. the aim is to study the invasion pattern of Mimosa diplotricha at different landscapes and also consider the biological control methods. also, study the abundance of weed in Kerala
DetailsBalshineSigalI am interested in how invasive species impact ecosystem health. Specifically, I study how invasives compete with native species and how contaminants may change behaviour and contribute to contaminants cycling up in foodwebs.

DetailsColauttiRobertContemporary evolution of invasive species: Biological invasions expose populations to strong selection for local adaptation, particularly along climatic gradients that correlate with latitude. However, evolution occuring over contemporary timescales in response to novel environments may be constrained by a lack of standing genetic variation, genetic correlations among life-history traits, or both. My Ph.D. research examined limits to local adaptation associated with northern migration in the invasive wetland plant purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) using a combination of theory and common garden experiments of up to 20 populations, grown under glasshouse and field conditions. These populations represent a latitudinal gradient of 10 degrees of latitude in eastern North America. I am also involved in a large international collaboration on Alliaria petiolata (Garlic Mustard) called the "Globabl Garlic Mustard Field Survey". This collaboration involves researchers, educators and 'citizen scientists' from across North America and Europe. The goal of this field survey is to collect much-needed data on an invasive species. Population abundance, age structure and a rough estimate of herbivory . We are also collecting seeds for future experiments. For more information on this project, see www.GarlicMustard.org
