Giacomo Bernardi
Giacomo Bernardi is a Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at University of California Santa Cruz. He earned his B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. at the University of Paris and did post-doctoral work from 1991 to 1994 at Hopkins Marine Station at Stanford University.His research includes working on phylogeography, speciation and molecular ecology of fishes, particularly in fishes lacking a pelagic larval phase, Gulf of California and Pacific disjunct species, and in surfperches (Embiotocidae). His research compares phylogeographic and gene expression patterns to test for local adaptation in a high gene flow species. He is also interested in population structure of coastal and island groupers. He also investigates adult population structure and the structure of a new year-class within ''Sebastes mystinus'' (blue rockfish) and ''Sebastes atrovirens'' (kelp rockfish) over multiple temporal and spatial scales. He studies at the Richard Gump South Pacific Research Station. Provided by Wikipedia
