معرفی
Dr. Barbara Koeck is an Affiliate Researcher at the University of Glasgow’s School of Biodiversity, One Health & Veterinary Medicine. Her research focuses on marine conservation, fish behavior, and ecosystem dynamics, with a particular emphasis on the impacts of human activities (e.g., fishing, climate change) on aquatic organisms and their habitats.
Her work integrates field studies with experimental approaches, addressing topics such as the conservation efficacy of marine reserves, fisheries-induced evolutionary changes, and the effects of environmental stressors on fish physiology and behavior. Collaborations span institutions globally, including projects on species like Atlantic salmon, trout, and grouper.
Key themes in her research include:
- Genetic and phenotypic diversity in conservation
- Social and physiological responses to angling
- Climate adaptation in aquatic ecosystems
- Artificial reef impacts on fisheries and biodiversity
Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding predator-prey nutrient dynamics and the physiological trade-offs in fish under environmental pressures. While no awards are explicitly listed, her extensive peer-reviewed output reflects recognition in ecological and fisheries science.
Labs/Teams: Collaborates widely, including with groups at the University of Glasgow and international partners on marine protected areas and fisheries management.
