Robert Wayne receives UC Research Catalyst Award for biodiversity preservation

Among the four recipients of the 2016 UC President’s Research Catalyst Awards is Robert Wayne, CTR Affiliated Faculty member and Professor in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department. His project, Preservation of Biodiversity through Conservation Genomics, aims to understand changes in gene expression and how threatened populations respond to their habitats and climate. CTR will be playing a role in this project by working with the tricolored blackbird, one of the featured threatened species.
