Bayesian hierarchical approaches to analyze spatiotemporal dynamics of fish populations
The study of spatiotemporal dynamics of fish populations is important for both stock assessment and fishery management. I explored the impacts of environmental and anthropogenic factors on spatiotemporal patterns of fish populations, and contributed to stock assessment and management by …

Unlocking the genetic potential of the root system, rhizosheath mucilage and microbiome of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
An increasing global population, projections of climates that will challenge sufficient crop production, and a detrimental use of fertiliser and pesticides mean that we need to increase the productivity of land currently under cultivation with minimal impact on the environment. Wheat is the second …
