Recherche

Mon groupe de recherche utilise des techniques génomiques pour évaluer la biocomplexité (nombre de populations, leurs tailles et leurs connectivités) et le potentiel adaptatif des poissons marins de l'Arctique. Nous travaillons en collaboration avec de nombreux partenaires nationaux et internationaux qui fournissent des échantillons provenant des régions arctiques circumpolaires (par exemple, le flétan du Groenland, la morue arctique entre autres). Notre objectif est de construire des données écologiques primaires sur de nombreux poissons peu étudiés, à partir desquelles des évaluations de la sensibilité aux changements climatiques et écosystémiques peuvent être faites. Cela a des implications opportunes pour notre compréhension des impacts du changement climatique sur la biodiversité arctique mondiale. Un autre aspect de notre travail consiste à développer et à appliquer des outils bioinformatiques (principalement avec R) pour manipuler et analyser des données génomiques et autres mégadonnées. Par conséquent, les membres de mon groupe deviennent des codeurs compétents pour effectués leurs analyses et pour la visualisation de leurs données. Nous utilisons également les données générées par nos travaux génomiques dans des analyses de modélisation en prospective prédisant les impacts des conditions environnementales changeantes sur l'intégrité génétique et la diversité des espèces caractérisées.
