About Leon Green
I'm studying the ecology and evolution of invasive species.
As environments change, organisms can acclimate and/or adapt (through genetic changes in their offspring). The same thing also occurs when a species is translocated to a novel environment. The study of non-native (and invasive) species can therefore tell us a lot about how species cope with a changing environment.
In my research, I'm is using the invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) as a model. This species is Sweden's first truly marine invasive fish, and knowledge regarding their spread and ecosystem effects are very important for management purposes.
I use a multitude of techniques in my research, but a lot of focus lately has been on non-invasive sampling in the wild using remote camera systems to record community composition and species interactions between native fish and the invasive round goby.
