Research title: Harvest-associated selection in ornamental Amazonian fishes

Research Summary

Research Interests

My research focuses on how individuals and groups respond to anthropogenic stressors and environmental change. I am interested in using multi-disciplinary approaches to understand relationships between fish physiology and behaviour under multiple stressors and across evolutionary timescales.

Current Work

My PhD examines the Amazonian ornamental fishing industry. It investigates the relationship between capture vulnerability and individual traits under the lens of environmental change. It also addresses if targeting specific phenotypes has evolutionary consequences. This work is funded by the Fisheries Society of the British Isles and is in collaboration with the National Institute of Amazonian Research.
