Regular biography
Andrea Manica is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. Her research focuses on the response to environmental change, evolutionary ecology, movement ecology, and population genetics. She investigates how animal populations, including humans, adapt to environmental shifts over time, utilizing population genetics and behavioural data. Her work incorporates mathematical modelling, high-performance computing, and climate modelling. Manica's research also explores areas for collaboration, such as paleoclimate modelling.
Scholar-generated biography
Andrea Manica is a Professor of Evolutionary Ecology at the University of Cambridge, specializing in Evolution, Ecology, and Population Genetics. His research explores the genetic and ecological dynamics of species, including human evolution and the impact of environmental factors on population structure. Manica's work often integrates genomic data with ecological models to understand evolutionary processes. His publications cover topics such as human dispersal, speciation with gene flow, and the genetic diversity of human populations. He has also examined the effects of sampling regimes on ecological estimates and the effectiveness of protected areas in resisting anthropogenic pressures.
