Project Title: Investigating the potential plasticity of European oyster spat exposed to low-salinity conditions
Project Description:聽The Filgueira Lab is seeking a motivated Honours student for the 2026-2027 academic year. This position would begin in Summer 2026 and will focus on investigating the potential plasticity of European oyster spat exposed to low-salinity conditions.
Ongoing climate change is increasing the intensity and frequency of extreme rainfall events, resulting in severe salinity declines in estuarine and coastal environments. Understanding adaptive mechanisms under these conditions may be critical to the resilience of commercially important bivalve species.
