Project Description
Rosanna (Boyle) Milligan is an assistant professor at Nova Southeastern University where she runs the Seascape Ecology Lab. She earned from the University of Glasgow her B.S. in aquatic bioscience, M.S. in parasitology, and Ph.D. studying the ecology of deep-sea demersal fishes, before moving to the U.S. as a postdoctoral researcher to study deep-pelagic ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico. Her research interests lie in understanding how the distributions and biodiversity patterns of deep-sea animals are shaped by both natural and anthropogenic drivers across multiple scales. She is particularly interested in understanding how mobile deep-sea fauna, particularly fishes, create connections between deep- and shallow-water ecosystems, how deep-sea fishes contribute to the ecosystem goods and services that we rely on, and how those services might be perturbed by human impacts occurring at any ocean depth.
