Research Interests
Andrew Mahon is a molecular ecologist with expertise in advancing molecular methods for detection of rare species in environmental systems. His work in Antarctica involves investigations of biodiversity using molecular genetic and genomic tools, particularly for benthic invertebrates (namely sea spiders, Pycnogonida). The work addresses questions related to the evolutionary history of the organisms and overlays the geological, oceanographic, and climatic history of repeated glacial periods in the Southern Ocean.
