The development and application of eDNA for the classification and management of plant-pollinator networks in an agro-ecosystem
Sean Stankowski (Research Fellow, ISTA Austria) - now Lecturer University of Sussex
I am especially interested in understanding how new species form. The process of speciation is highly complex, involving multiple forces and factors that play out across time and space. I use a diverse toolkit, including cutting-edge genomic techniques and field- and lab-based studies to understand the divers of speciation in plants and animals

Ecological and genetic impacts of habitat fragmentation in endangered Western Australian flora.
The knowledge gained from his research will add to the ecological role that native invertebrate pollinators play in the region. It will also inform recovery plans to enhance the future persistence of the species by means of an improved awareness of factors that constrain both its reproduction and its adaptation ability over the long-term.

Phylogenomics and population genomics of late-stages of speciation in Poplars
This project utilises whole genomes across populations of numerous Poplar species to investigate the genomic signatures of divergence along the speciation continuum.
