Jessica Hadlow is a researcher at the School of Biological Sciences, The University of Western Australia. Her work focuses on reproductive biology, sexual selection, and gamete evolution in marine invertebrates.

Key research themes include:

• Sperm biology (morphology, motility, viability)
• Broadcast spawning dynamics in mussels
• Environmental impacts on reproductive fitness
• Phenotypic plasticity in gametes

Recent publications examine:

• Rescue of sperm from phenotypic ageing by female fluids
• Multivariate selection on sperm traits
• Paternal environmental effects in external fertilizers
• Intergenerational responses to sperm competition

Collaborations include researchers like J.P. Evans, R.A. Lymbery, and R.C. Firman. Her work is supported by grants from the Ecological Society of Australia.
