Rwy'n fiolegydd esblygiadol sy'n gweithio ar y rhyngwyneb o genomeg, ecoleg foleciwlaidd a bioleg cadwraeth.
Gweler y tab 'cyhoeddiadau' ar y dudalen hon, neu yma am restr gyhoeddiadau lawn.
Mae fy ngrŵp yn rhan o glwstwr ymchwil, grŵp Ecoleg a Chadwraeth Moleciwlaidd Caerdydd (CMEC), cymuned fywiog o amgylch grwpiau ymchwil 4 PI: Dr Pablo Orozco-terWengel, Dr Isa-Rita Russo, Dr David Stanton a minnau.
Rwy'n rhan o Brosiect Dyfrgwn Prifysgol Caerdydd, lle rydym yn astudio dyfrgwn yn y DU a thu hwnt. Rydym yn defnyddio amrywiaeth o ddulliau gwyddonol, er enghraifft astudio genomeg poblogaeth yn ogystal â defnyddio dyfrgwn fel gwarchodwyr ar gyfer ystod o halogion amgylcheddol ac ymwrthedd gwrthficrobaidd mewn ecosystemau dŵr croyw.
Rydym wedi cael cynulliad genom lefel cromosom, yr ydym wedi'i ddefnyddio yn ddiweddar ar gyfer astudiaeth o ddilyniannu genom cyfan dyfrgwn y DU. Rydym hefyd yn ddiweddar wedi cyhoeddi papur sy'n disgrifio canlyniadau o'n monitro genetig poblogaeth 21 mlynedd o boblogaeth dyfrgwn y DU sy'n gwella, ac un ar newidiadau ym maint y boblogaeth effeithiol mewn dyfrgwn y DU dros y cyfnod hwn.
Mae ffocws ymchwil arall ar eryrod môr cynffon wen ac ysglyfaethwyr eraill, lle rydym yn cyfuno genomeg, tagio GPS ac astudiaethau ymddygiad i ddeall ecoleg a chadwraeth y rhywogaeth yn well, yn enwedig yng ngoleuni ailgyflwyniadau'r rhywogaeth i'r DU ac mewn mannau eraill.
Rwyf hefyd yn gweithio ar ystod o brosiectau ar adar môr, rhan o grŵp gwych o fiolegwyr petrel storm (@CUStormies ar Twitter).
Mae llawer o fy ngwaith yn ymwneud ag organebau sy'n byw mewn dŵr, ac felly mae ein Sefydliad Ymchwil Dŵr Prifysgol Caerdydd yn darparu cyfleoedd gwych ar gyfer rhyngweithio.
Yn ddiweddar, rydym wedi agor labordy DNA hynafol o'r radd flaenaf yma yng Nghaerdydd, gyda David Stanton yn arweinydd academaidd. Mae hyn yn datgloi cyfleoedd ardderchog ar gyfer dadansoddi genomau hynafol a hanesyddol, megis o bawennau tlws dyfrgwn neu wyau eryr môr cynffon gwyn.
Gwasanaeth academaidd
Rwy'n gwasanaethu fel Adolygiadau/Golygydd Cyswllt ar gyfer y cyfnodolyn Heredity (gweler yma am ganllawiau cyflwyno) a chyn hynny fel Golygydd Cyswllt ar gyfer Cadwraeth Anifeiliaid (2012-2024). Mae croeso i chi gysylltu os oes gennych ddiddordeb mewn cyflwyno i'r cyfnodolion hyn.
Yn ystod 2016-2020, gwasanaethais ar swydd gyfyngedig fel Aelod o Bwyllgor ar fwrdd Cymdeithas Geneteg y DU, yn cynrychioli Geneteg Poblogaeth ac Esblygiadol.

Yn fy ngrŵp rydym yn canolbwyntio ar astudio ysglyfaethwyr gorau mamaliaid ac adar sydd mewn perygl, gan gynnal ymchwil i'w esblygiad, addasu, ecoleg a chadwraeth.
Geneteg a Genomeg
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn eang, gan ganolbwyntio ar arolygu amrywiadau genetig o fewn ac ymhlith rhywogaethau i gasglu prosesau allweddol mewn ecoleg ac esblygiad, megis pennu, addasu, ymchwydd a strwythuro poblogaethau. Mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd yn achosion a chanlyniadau gwasgaru, mecanweithiau colli neu gynnal amrywiaeth enetig, ac ecoleg afiechydon.
Mae deall y prosesau hyn yn aml yn gofyn am wybodaeth am strwythur poblogaeth a hanes ffylogeographic. Felly, mae fy ymchwil yn olrhain tarddiad a thynged amrywiadau genetig o fewn unigolion i'w poblogaethau a'u rhywogaethau, ac yn parhau i ddyfnach i raddfeydd amser ffylogeneteg. Yn y cyd-destun hwn, mae'n arbennig o ddiddorol gweld sut mae rhannau o'r genom a etifeddwyd yn annibynnol yn adlewyrchu gwahanol agweddau ar brosesau'r presennol a'r gorffennol.
Yn fy ymchwil, rwyf wedi astudio amrywiaeth eang o dacsa, gan gynnwys eirth, eryrod, dyfrgwn, rhywogaethau amrywiol o adar môr trofannol, bleiddiaid, coyotes a chŵn, crwbanod, pryfed ffrwythau, lyncsau, eliffantod ac ati, yn rhychwantu'r arctig i gynefinoedd trofannol.
Ecoleg a Chadwraeth
Yn fy ngrŵp rydym hefyd yn defnyddio amrywiaeth o ddulliau seiliedig ar faes neu ddulliau eraill (angenetig) i astudio bioamrywiaeth, er enghraifft:
- Gan ein bod yn rhan o Grŵp Dyfrgwn Prifysgol Caerdydd (Twitter), rydym yn astudio amrywiaeth o agweddau ar ddyfrgwn Ewrasia (Lutra lutra), gan gynnwys e.e. genomeg poblogaeth a dadansoddiad o halogion.
- Rydym yn gweithio ar fonitro genomig poblogaeth o ailgyflwyno eryrod cynffon wen i Ynysoedd Prydain, gan gydweithio â, e.e., sefydliad Wellcome Sanger, Forestry England, Prifysgol Caeredin, ac Ailgyflwyno Eryr Cymru.
- Rydym yn astudio gwahanol agweddau ar fioleg adar môr, gan weithio'n agos gyda thîm Storm Petrel Prifysgol Caerdydd (gweler ni ar Twitter) a hefyd gyda phartneriaid yn Sefydliad Smithsonian.
- Yn ogystal, rydyn ni'n astudio amrywiaeth o famaliaid, gan gynnwys llwynogod a bleiddiaid - os oes ganddo DNA, efallai y byddwn ni'n gweithio arno!

Ar ôl astudiaethau mewn bioleg ym Mhrifysgol Marburg (yr Almaen), cwblheais fy ngradd Meistr ym Mhrifysgol Uppsala (Sweden), lle parheais i ddilyn astudiaethau PhD yn labordy Hans Ellegren a Carles Vilà (bellach yn CSIC, Sbaen). Roedd fy ngwaith PhD yn canolbwyntio ar eneteg cadwraeth eryrod cynffon-wen, ond gweithiais hefyd ar brosiectau eraill ar ddof cŵn a geneteg poblogaeth canid. Yna gweithiais gyda Jennifer Leonard ar hybrideiddio coyotes a bleiddiaid yng Ngogledd America. Yn 2007 dechreuais postdoc newydd gyda Rob Fleischer yn y Smithsonian National Zoo. Yn 2010-2014 gweithiais yn BiK-F yng ngrŵp Axel Janke, gan astudio geneteg poblogaeth ac addasu fertebratau arctig a'u cymheiriaid boreotemperate.
