Joachim Mergeay

(he/him). My research mainly deals with applied population genetics, with an important focus on implementation of genetic criteria into conservation policy (European Habitats Directive), and using genetic principles to define and evaluate the conservation status of species and habitats. In addition, I use population genetics to evaluate the success of conservation translocations measures and monitor invasive species. I am also a parttime associate professor at KULeuven in population genetics
