Dr. Uthicke is a Research Scientist in Water Quality & Ecosystem Health at AIMS and has expertise in experimental ecology, molecular ecology, and population genetics. In previous studies, he has investigated genetic connectivity and ecological function of coral reef invertebrates with special focus on echinoderms. His work combines field-based ecological surveys and experimental aquarium studies with “state-of-the-art” laboratory techniques and molecular analyses.

Sharks, giant trevally, coral trout and other large reef predators present a challenge to reef managers. Their mobility complicates estimates of population status, which makes assessment of man-made and natural changes hard to define.
