Overview

Andrew Weeks is affiliated with the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom and conducts research primarily in the fields of Environmental Science and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their work spans several subfields, including Ecology, Genetics, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Molecular Biology, and Ecological Modeling.

Weeks's research covers a variety of topics with a focus on environmental and genetic aspects. Key areas of study include Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies, Genetic Diversity and Population Structure, Species Distribution and Climate Change, Identification and Quantification in Food, Fish Ecology and Management Studies, Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, as well as Mosquito-borne Diseases and Control.

Their recent publications demonstrate active engagement in interdisciplinary research. Selected papers include:
