Biography
Molecular genetics in biodiversity management and fundamental evolutionary biology: Sherwin’s multidisciplinary team introduced information theory methods to forecasting and measuring biodiversity levels from molecules to ecosystems. This is used by many researchers and is underpinned by the work of Sherwin’s lab on molecular diversity of endangered, pest, and harvested wildlife.
