Role of Genetic Diversity In Regulating the Development of Plankton- Rich Layers.

摘要

My long-term goals are focused on deciphering the role genetic diversity plays in regulating the formation and decline of plankton-rich layers (PRLs). I plan to examine 1) the mechanistic roles that genetic diversity and genetic composition play in the episodic formation of PRLs and 2) the critical temporal and spatial scales on which genetic variation influences PRL formation.
