Danielle is a postdoctoral research scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Her research focuses on population genomics with an emphasis on practical applications for conservation and management outcomes in the marine environment. She is currently using genomic tools to investigate environmentally adaptive population structure in three important zooplankton (Calanus copepods) – important prey for endangered whales and commercial fish species. This work will help to answer how and why these zooplankton may be vulnerable to future climate change, with implications for understanding the effects of a changing climate on higher trophic levels and for industries reliant on healthy marine ecosystems.
