Shauna Murray

Shauna researchs molecular evolution, gene expression, and their implications for systematics. She has worked extensively on eukaryotic microbes, including toxin-forming species. Shauna has contributed information on dinoflagellates to micro*scope, a source of information about eukaryotic microbes. Shauna has also conducted research on sustainability issues including the Ecological Footprint.
