Dead Men tell no Tales, But Dead Plants Do!

Department of Biological Sciences Conference Room 1 Block S3 Level 5, 16 Science Drive 4, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore, Singapore

Herbarium specimens may provide…data potentially useful for studies in climate and environmental change. Examples from marine algae can be used for mapping general community changes through time and space, affording a record of the resent past, and perhaps a glimpse of the future.

Associate Professor Lawrence Liao is the president of the Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines, and holds a teaching appointment at the Graduate School of Biosphere Science in Hiroshima University. He is completing a seaweed database of the South China Sea.

[Seminar] Pteropods and Lumpfishes

SJINML Seminar Room Singapore, Singapore

Pteropods are planktonic gastropods that live in the water column throughout oceans worldwide. They show limited acclimation responses to the effects of ocean acidification (OA), with dissolution of their shell observed in individuals exposed future acidity levels. However, we also need to study their long term adaptive potential to cope with incremental changes in acidity. We define adaptive potential as the ability of species or populations to respond to selection through phenotypic or molecular changes. I seek to investigate the genotypic variability, spatial partitioning and gene flow in pteropod populations across the Atlantic Ocean to assess their potential for adaptation. This can be don
