David Fidler

Dr. David Fidler is a Researcher at the School of Biological Sciences, Bangor University, specializing in microbial ecology, metagenomics, and soil ecology. His work explores interactions between organisms and their environments, with a focus on biodiversity and functional diversity.

• Education: PhD in Biological Sciences from Bangor University (2023).

His research spans insect ecology, community ecology, and plant ecology, integrating advanced techniques like quantitative PCR (qPCR), metagenomic analysis, and high-throughput in situ cultivation. Recent publications highlight microbial dynamics in soil under carbon deprivation, Drosophila-associated microbiomes, and marine bivalve larval quantification.

Dr. Fidler collaborates with institutions including Stanford University, the University of Edinburgh, and Western Sydney University, contributing to microbial ecology, environmental science, and marine biology. His work addresses critical questions in ecosystem responses to atmospheric changes and aquaculture limitations.
