Robin Waples

Robin Waples is a senior scientist at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center of the National Marine Fisheries Service in Seattle. Robin led the Conservation Biology Division for a decade conducting comprehensive reviews of the status of Pacific salmonids under the US federal Endangered Species Act. Particular interests include:
  1. adapting standard population genetics theory so that it can be applied to real-world problems;
  2. combining diverse types of information (molecular genetics; life history; ecology) to characterize hierarchical levels of diversity in Pacific salmon;
  3. assessing viability of complex conservation units that include multiple independent populations and diverse ecotypes;
  4. methods for analyzing gene flow and population structure.
