Introduction
I am interested in understanding the effects of human activities and climate change on ecological molecular processes governing species interactions in aquatic organisms.

Temperature is a crucial factor affecting the physiology of ectothermic animals, but exposure to elevated temperature during specific life stages and across generations may confer fish resilience through phenotypic plasticity. In this study, we investigate the effects of developmental and parental temperature on brain activity response to an olfact...
While ocean acidification (OA) impacts the behaviour of marine organisms, the complexity of neurosystems makes linking behavioural impairments to environmental change difficult. Using a simple model, we exposed Aplysia to ambient or elevated CO2 conditions (approx. 1500 µatm) and tested how OA affected the neuromolecular response of the pleural–ped...
With temperature being a crucial factor affecting the physiology of ectothermic animals, global warming will likely impact neural mechanisms aquatic organisms use to perceive their environment over generations. However, exposure to elevated temperature during specific life stages and across generations may confer fish resilience through phenotypic...
The majority of the transcribed genome does not have coding potential but these non‐coding transcripts play crucial roles in transcriptional and post‐transcriptional regulation of protein‐coding genes. Regulation of gene expression is important in shaping an organism's response to environmental changes, ultimately impacting their survival and persi...
Temperature is a primary factor affecting the physiology of ectothermic animals and global warming of water bodies may therefore impact aquatic life. Understanding the effects of near-future predicted temperature changes on the behaviour and underlying molecular mechanisms of aquatic animals is of particular importance, since behaviour mediates sur...
Ocean acidification (OA) has numerous impacts on marine organisms including behaviour. While behaviours are controlled in the neuro system, its complexity makes linking behavioural impairments to environmental change difficult. Here we use a neurological model Aplysia californica with well-studied simple neuro system and behaviours. By exposing Apl...
Temperature is a primary factor affecting the survival, development, and physiology of aquatic ectothermic animals and global warming of water bodies may therefore impact several biological levels of aquatic life. Understanding the effects of near-future predicted temperature changes on the behaviour and the underlying molecular mechanisms of aquat...
Environmental degradation has the potential to alter key mutualisms that underlie the structure and function of ecological communities. How microbial communities associated with fishes vary across populations and in relation to habitat characteristics remains largely unknown despite their fundamental roles in host nutrition and immunity. We find si...
The majority of the transcribed genome does not have coding potential but is composed of non-coding transcripts that are involved in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of protein-coding genes. Regulation of gene expression is important in determining the response of organisms to changes in the environment, and therefore their persi...
The unstable nature of freshwater ponds in arid landscapes represent a sizable challenge for strictly aquatic organisms, such as fishes. Yet the Arabian Desert, bordering the coastline of the Red Sea, plays host to a species very well adapted to such extreme environments: the Arabian pupfish, Aphanius dispar. In this study, we estimated patterns of...
Environmental degradation has the potential to alter key mutualisms that underline the structure and function of ecological communities. While it is well recognized that the global loss of coral reefs alters fish communities, the effects of habitat degradation on microbial communities associated with fishes remain largely unknown despite their fund...
