American ecologist
Giacomo Bernardi is a Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at University of California Santa Cruz. 
He earned his B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. at the University of Paris and did post-doctoral work from 1991 to 1994 at Hopkins Marine Station at Stanford University.
His research includes working on phylogeography, speciation and molecular ecology of fishes, particularly in fishes lacking a pelagic larval phase, Gulf of California and Pacific disjunct species, and in surfperches (Embiotocidae). 
His research compares phylogeographic and gene expression patterns to test for local adaptation in a high gene flow species. 
He is also interested in population structure of coastal and island groupers. 
He also investigates adult population structure and the structure of a new year-class within "Sebastes mystinus" (blue rockfish) and "Sebastes atrovirens" (kelp rockfish) over multiple temporal and spatial scales. 
He studies at the Richard Gump South Pacific Research Station.
