Trosolwyg
Rwy'n genetegydd esblygiadol sydd â diddordeb mewn deall sut mae prosesau naturiol ac anthropogenig yn ymwneud â newid bioamrywiaeth. Er mwyn gwneud hyn, credaf fod angen dealltwriaeth o fioamrywiaeth hanesyddol yn gyntaf.
Mae fy ymchwil yn ymchwilio i'r amrywiaeth hwn yn y gorffennol ym mhoblogaethau anifeiliaid gwyllt, gan ddefnyddio DNA hanesyddol a hynafol, ac yn ei gymharu â'r rhai sy'n fyw heddiw. Y nod yn y pen draw yw defnyddio'r cymariaethau hyn i wella ein rhagfynegiadau o sut mae bioamrywiaeth heddiw yn debygol o newid i'r dyfodol.
Rwyf wedi gweithio ar ystod eang o wahanol dacsa a systemau astudio, gyda ffocws diweddar ar gigysyddion diflanedig fel llewod ogofâu, Homotherium, blaidd Ynysoedd y Falkland, a phoblogaethau blaidd hynafol o Ewrasia.
Oes gennych chi ddiddordeb mewn ymuno â'm grŵp ymchwil?
Mae gen i gyfleoedd i fyfyrwyr israddedig, Meistr a PhD, cysylltwch os oes gennych ddiddordeb.
