Research interests
My research focuses on how transgenerational acclimation may act as a vital mechanism allowing rapid adaptive responses to climate change. Using marine invertebrates, I will explore the effects of transgenerational exposure to elevated temperatures across levels of biological organisation, using whole organism physiology, behaviour and life history approaches in conjunction with -omic techniques.
