About
The focus of Dr. Shivji's research is on developing and using integrative approaches (molecular genetics, genomics, animal tracking and other field work) to investigate various aspects of the ecology, conservation, evolution and management of marine organisms, with an emphasis on elasmobranchs (sharks and rays), billfishes and coral reef species.
