Roseanna Gamlen-Greene

I am a PhD Candidate studying Western toad ecology on Haida Gwaii: threats, genetics and conservation. In the past, I have studied marine subsidies to freshwater ecosystems, food-web dynamics of a critically endangered sea-lion, co-evolution of sexual reproduction and parasites in a freshwater snail and above-ground below-ground interactions. I was in Professor John Richardson’s lab for the first part of my PhD to work on my mesocosm experiment chapter and species distribution modelling chapter (2016-2020) and then moved to Professor Sally N. Aitken’s Conservation Genetics lab to work on my genetics chapter (2020 – 2021).
