People
Dr. Keyne Monro
Lab Leader
Keyne is an ARC Future Fellow in the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University. She is interested in selection and evolution in changing environments.
Dr. Akane Uesugi
ARC DECRA Postdoctoral Fellow
Akane studies the ecology and evolution of invasive plants. She uses evolutionary ecology, chemical ecology, and quantitative genetic approaches to test how ecologically-relevant plant traits evolve as they invade novel ranges.
Adriana Rebolledo
PhD Student
Adriana is interested in the ecological and evolutionary processes that influence the life histories of marine invertebrates. With the current threat of global warming on marine ecosystems, her project intends to study the capacity of early life-history stages to withstand the challenge of rising sea temperatures.
Cristóbal Gallegos Sánchez
PhD Student
Cris is broadly interested in marine evolutionary ecology and how organisms manage to survive environmental change. His project intends to study the drivers of divergence and speciation in a marine invertebrate and how this process might be affected by climate change in a rapidly warming region.
Evatt Chirgwin
Research Associate
Evatt is interested in how natural populations adapt to environmental change. His PhD investigated how marine invertebrate populations may respond to future climate change through adaptive evolution and phenotypic plasticity.
