Seascape genomics of eelgrass
How is marine biodiversity shaped across space? In this seminar, the Seascape Genomics method is presented with eelgrass as a case study.
Seascape genomics combines ecological, environmental, and genetic data to understand how marine biodiversity is shaped across space.
In this seminar, Marlene Jahnke will use eelgrass as a case study to show how these approaches can reveal patterns of connectivity, adaptation, acclimation, and resilience in coastal ecosystems.
Drawing on recent work, Marlene Jahnke will present results from genetic and environmental analyses, biophysical modelling, and mesocosm experiments.
Marlene Jahnke will then discuss how these insights can support more effective conservation and restoration in coastal ecosystems, and how genomic tools can contribute to practical decision-making and policy.
