معرفی
Patricia Warner is a postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station, focusing on coral reef biology and population genetics. She completed her PhD at James Cook University (JCU), where she investigated genetic connectivity and speciation in corals within the genus Seriatopora. Her research integrates reproductive biology, symbiont genetics, and climate change impacts on reef resilience. Patricia's recent work explores coral adaptation mechanisms through DNA analysis and historical climate data.
Education:
- PhD in Marine Biology, James Cook University (School of Marine Biology, AIMS@JCU, CoE for Coral Reef Studies)
Research Interests: Population genetics of corals, symbiotic relationships between corals and Symbiodinium, coral reef dynamics under climate change, and genetic basis of reef resilience. Her studies bridge evolutionary biology and applied conservation to address future ecological challenges.
Key Contributions: Her postdoctoral research at Stanford continues her focus on coral genetics, with findings published in high-impact media releases. These include studies on coral heat tolerance and the socioeconomic impacts of climate change on vulnerable coastal communities.
