Title

Global patterns, trends, and prospects for marine biodiversity

Background

Dr. Worm is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada. His interests focus on global patterns and changes in marine biodiversity. His research aims to understand how these patterns were created in the first place, and how they are changing, particularly in response to perturbations such as fishing and climate change. He also has an active interest in marine conservation and ecosystem management, in particular with respect to the conservation of large marine predators.
