About me
- johnjameswilson
- Liverpool, United Kingdom
- I am interested in how we can use DNA sequences to understand biodiversity – how do we recognise species, and how are species related at taxonomic, ecological and geographic levels? My passion for biodiversity research has led me from the world’s largest natural history collection - Natural History Museum, London, where I completed my MSc, to the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario - global centre for the international Barcode of Life, as a PhD student, and to the hyper-diverse tropics of Southeast Asia. The tropics will be the first regions to experience historically unprecedented climates and this will happen within the next decade. Consequently my recent research has focussed on understanding the effects of urbanisation and climate change on tropical and subtropical biodiversity - encompassing both species richness and ecological integrity across a diversity of taxonomic groups.

RESEARCH UPDATE - IBOL2017 ABSTRACTS
Unfortunately I didn't make it to Kruger National Park for the IBOL2017. However, three abstracts from myself and co-workers have been published in the conference special issue in Genome. They can be found here: http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/toc/gen/60/11 and also from my ResearchGate profile.
