Mission
Welcome to Wernberg & Filbee-Dexter Labs, where passionate marine ecologists focus on subtidal seaweed dominated ecosystems. As the Marine Ecology in a Changing World group at UWA, we encourage prospective students to reach out after exploring our areas of expertise. We are always open to new members
Our research areas cover a wide range of marine ecology topics, from subtidal seaweed ecosystems to biodiversity conservation. We focus on in-depth studies, quality research, and environmental preservation.
Explore the knowledge brought by our team in subtidal seaweed dominated ecosystems, biodiversity, and marine conservation. Immerse yourself in a world of new discoveries and experiences through the work of our passionate marine ecologists.
Meet our team members- both current and past, collaborators, their contributions and areas of expertise.
Our Focus
is the ecology of shallow subtidal ecosystems, predominantly the large habitat-forming seaweeds that act as foundation species in marine communities.
