معرفی
Jessica O'Hare is a Lecturer at Macquarie University in the School of Natural Sciences, affiliated with the Macquarie University Marine Research Centre. Her work bridges applied research in marine fisheries and aquaculture with conservation genetics.
Research Interests: Jessica focuses on genomic technologies to study resilience in wild and captive populations, the genetic basis of evolutionarily important traits, marine population connectivity, and molecular species identification. Her research aligns with solving industry and conservation challenges through evolutionary and molecular biology.
Publications Trends: Jessica's recent work spans genetic differentiation in insects, marine population genetics (e.g., oysters, sharks), soil sterilization effects on plant growth, and restoration ecology strategies. Sub-fields include population dynamics, host-plant interactions, ecosystem restoration, and genomic resilience.
Teaching and Supervision: She teaches Genetics, Evolutionary and Conservation Genetics, and Field Methods in Environmental Science. Past students include Dameon Osborn (Doughboy scallop genetic structure) and Teagan Pyne (population genetics of Ylistrum balloti).
Projects: Jessica leads industry-driven research, including genetic identification of oysters and environmental DNA collection via filter-feeding organisms. She also contributes to marine conservation and genomic technologies in biodiversity contexts.
