Bay Area Biosystematists: 12/8, John Carlos Garza on Genetics & mgmt of California fishes

The Bay Area Biosystematists present:
 
“The use of genetic data to delineate management units for California fishes”

John Carlos Garza
Southwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA
and
Dept. of Ocean Sciences, UC Santa Cruz

As lead of the Molecular Ecology and Genetic Analysis (MEGA) Team, Dr. Garza and his lab
use population genetic data and analytical techniques to address a broad array of questions in ecology,
evolution, behavior, conservation, and management of marine and anadromous organisms. This talk will focus on identifying management units for California fishes and their relationship to taxonomic units

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis View all posts by Jonathan Eisen
