PhD Projects Benthic Ecology: Lake Zurich Contrasting benthic communities between the Upper and Lower basins of Lake Zurich Invasion Genomics: Quagga Mussel Tracing the global and regional spread of the Quagga mussel using whole-genome sequencing of 640+ individuals across Europe and North America. Physiology & Reproduction: Quagga Mussel Characterising the full annual reproductive cycle of Quagga mussels across a depth gradient (1–250 m) in Lake Constance, asking what deep populations are actually doing down there. Side Projects Morphometrics: Quagga Mussel Investigating shell shape variation across a full depth gradient in Lake Constance, asking whether two visually distinct morphs are the product of genes or environment.
