 English AACR2 Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules Person created 2019-10-01 human Helen Cohn updated 2026-01-15 human https://www.eoas.info/biogs/P006585b.htm person Byrne Maria FAA AACR2 Marine zoologist Maria Byrne is a marine zoologist internationally recognised for her discoveries in how animal body plans evolve. Her studies on larval ecologies of marine invertebrates, particularly echinoderms, resulted in the identification of new species and showed these animals to be highly responsive to environmental change. Byrne's is widely acknowledged as a leader in global change biology from her documentation of the impacts of ocean acidification and warming in marine invertebrates. With Timothy O'Hara she published the definitive work Australian echinoderms: biology, ecology and evolution (2017). Byrne is Professor in the School of Medical Sciences Bosch Institute at the University of Sydney. In 2019 she was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.

"Maria Byrne's research on evolution of development is globally recognised for key discoveries on how animal body plans evolve, and has greatly enriched our understanding of Australia's marine biodiversity. She uses life-history diversity in endemic species uniquely, to discover how developmental change drives speciation. She has advanced knowledge on the important marine phylum Echinodermata, culminating in a definitive textbook and monograph for Australia. She is also a recognised leader in global change biology, documenting the impacts of ocean acidification and warming on marine invertebrate life stages, revealing the adaptability of marine species that is key to understanding their future prospects."
