Ann Bucklin is a professor at the University of Connecticut known for her work using molecular tools to study zooplankton. Bucklin was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1995.

Education and career

Bucklin has an A.B. in biology from Oberlin College and earned her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1980.[1] Following her Ph.D., she was a NATA postdoctoral fellow at the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom and a postdoctoral scholar at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from 1981 until 1983.[2] Bucklin worked at the University of New Hampshire, first as a research professor and then as professor starting in 1998. She served as director of the New Hampshire National Sea Grant College Program|Sea Grant Program from 1992 until 2005 when she moved to the University of Connecticut in Groton, CT where she was the head of the Department of Marine Sciences until 2014.[1] From 2004 until 2010, Bucklin was the lead scientist for the Census of Marine Zooplankton, a field project connected to the Census of Marine Life project.[3]

Research

Bucklin is known for her research using molecular tools to characterize the evolution and ecology of marine organisms. Starting with her graduate research on the sea anemone, Metridium, Bucklin worked on pattern of reproduction[4] and genetic differentiation of novel species.[5] She has used genetic tools to track a variety of marine species including tube worms from Hydrothermal vent|hydrothermal vents,[6] Amphipoda|amphipods,[7] Krill|euphausiids,[8] and Copepod|copepods.[9] Through her research, she can differentiate closely-related copepods[10][11] and euphausiids,[12] examine spatial patterns in zooplankton,[13][14] and define the phylogeny of different zooplankton using multi-gene datasets.[15][16] Bucklin uses DNA barcoding to identify marine zooplankton, and the resulting data has implications for ocean health.[17]
