Evaluating the impact of multiple stressors on aquatic ecosystems often requires interdisciplinary research approaches coupled with robust biodiversity estimates. The general objectives of the proposed project are to 1) develop genomic tools that will allow accurate monitoring of biodiversity the close collaboration with end users; 2) evaluate the ecological and genetic responses of aquatic communities to environmental stressors. Using an unique combination of experimental ecology and environmental genomics and state-of-the-art facilities my research group will investigate the ramifications of multiple stressors on the structural and functional attributes of aquatic ecosystems at a previously unattainable level of detail, control and replication.

评估多种压力源对水生生态系统的影响通常需要跨学科研究方法以及可靠的生物多样性估计。拟议项目的总体目标是 1) 开发基因组工具，以便与最终用户密切合作，准确监测生物多样性； 2）评估水生群落对环境压力的生态和遗传反应。我的研究小组将利用实验生态学和环境基因组学以及最先进的设施的独特组合，以以前无法达到的细节、控制和复制水平，研究多种压力因素对水生生态系统结构和功能属性的影响。
