Sara Lindsay is a Professor of Marine Sciences at the School of Marine Sciences, University of Maine, specializing in sensory biology and ecology of marine invertebrates including polychaetes, bivalves, echinoderms, and tardigrades in benthic environments.
Her academic background includes:
- Ph.D., University of South Carolina, 1994
As an integrative biologist, Dr. Lindsay's research spans marine invertebrate community ecology, behavior, physiology, sensory biology, and cell & molecular biology. She investigates how chemoreception and vision coordinate behaviors, how predation and disturbance structure communities, and the physiological costs of tissue regeneration in sediment-dwelling organisms.
Analysis of her 2004-2015 publications reveals consistent focus on polychaete sensory mechanisms, regeneration processes, and bioturbation ecology. Her work integrates molecular, physiological, and ecological approaches to examine injury responses, sediment reworking, and chemosensory organ function across diverse benthic taxa.
Dr. Lindsay leads the Lindsay Lab, which employs advanced microscopy and molecular techniques to study how marine invertebrates adapt to life in soft-sediment habitats through sensory and regenerative adaptations.
