Brief description
Using molecular techniques, Alexandra (Sasha) explores ecological and evolutionary processes on various spatial and temporal scales. She integrates multilocus phylogeography, population genetic, landscape genetic and genomic data with diverse data on behaviour (e.g. acoustics), morphology (e.g. morphometrics, plumage colour), past and current climate or landscape features. Sasha works on two major ARC linkage projects. The landscape genetic project Birds in Fragmented Landscapes: Genes to Landscapes quantifies the effects of habitat fragmentation on dispersal and other aspects of biology of several southeast Australian native birds. The landscape genomic project Genomics for persistence of Australian freshwater fish focusses on mapping potentially adaptive genetic variation in the attempt to optimize management of fish populations across eastern Australia.
