Mission
Welcome to Wernberg & Filbee-Dexter Labs, where passionate marine ecologists focus on subtidal seaweed ecosystems. As of the Marine Ecology 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.
