Helen Taylor received her PhD for Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand), and has research interests that span conservation genetics, ecology, behaviour and reproductive biology.
Helen’s work in the Gemmell lab focuses on the impact of low genetic diversity and inbreeding on sperm health in native and introduced birds in New Zealand. Her research combines the data collection in the field with genetics and microscopy in the lab.
Her previous work included investigating inbreeding depression in little spotted kiwi and Helen continues to collaborate on conservation genetics projects for kiwi management in New Zealand.
