I am always on the lookout for bright, highly motivated students with interests in coral reef ecology, biogeography and macroecology. If your research interests overlap mine (check out the rest of my website) and you have an idea for a project, please do get in touch via email: [email protected]

Erika Woolsey
"Coral thermal tolerance and biogeographic distribution"
Ph.D, James Cook University, Australia (co-advisors: Andrew Baird, Maria Byrne) Sept 2010 - Sept 2014 Erika's project aims to understand geographical variation in thermal tolerance of dispersive larval stages of coral, particularly across latitudinal gradients. Erika combines a comparative experimental approach with spatial analysis of species traits to meet these aims. Ida Marie Weldingh Pedersen
