Bastien Llamas

Bastien Llamas serves as a Guest Researcher in the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen, with concurrent affiliation at the University of Adelaide evidenced by his institutional email address. His work operates within the Computational and RNA Biology research group, focusing on interdisciplinary approaches to biological conservation challenges.

His research spans Conservation Biology, Population Genetics, and Computational Biology, specializing in historical population dynamics of endangered species. He employs genomic analysis and ecological modeling to investigate extinction drivers, with particular emphasis on long-term demographic trends and genetic erosion in large mammals. This work bridges theoretical evolutionary biology with practical wildlife conservation strategies.

Recent scholarly output demonstrates a strong focus on integrating historical ecological data with modern conservation frameworks, exemplified by his 2023 Royal Society publication on European bison decline. His methodology combines millennial-scale population analysis with contemporary extinction risk assessment, revealing critical thresholds in species viability that inform current management practices.

Associated with the Computational and RNA Biology group at the University of Copenhagen, Dr. Llamas collaborates within an international research network specializing in genomic applications for biodiversity conservation, with demonstrated impact through significant media coverage and academic discussion of his work.
