Ann Bucklin

Bucklin has an A.B. in biology from Oberlin College and earned her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1980.{{Cite web|title=ORCID|url=https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3750-9348|access-date=2021-09-25|website=orcid.org}} Following her Ph.D., she was a NATO postdoctoral fellow at the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom and a postdoctoral scholar at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from 1980 until 1983.{{Cite web|title=CPR Survey {{!}} Prof. Ann Bucklin|url=https://www.cprsurvey.org/|access-date=2021-09-25|website=www.cprsurvey.org}} 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 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. 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. During 2014-2017, she served as chair of the Working Group on Integrative Morphological and Molecular Taxonomy (WGIMT) of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES).{{Cite web |title=WGIMT |url=https://www.ices.dk/community/groups/Pages/WGIMT.aspx |access-date=2022-04-06 |website=www.ices.dk}} From 2019 to 2024, Bucklin served as chair of the MetaZooGene working group (WG157) within the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR).{{Cite web |title=* Members & Participants |url=https://metazoogene.org/home/who |access-date=2022-04-02 |website=metazoogene.org}} In August 2023, Bucklin was appointed U.S. Academic Delegate to ICES https://www.ices.dk and now serves as one of two U.S. representatives on the ICES Council, the decision and policy-making body in ICES, and helps encourage and coordinate ICES-related research and activities in the U.S. academic community.

Bucklin is known for her research using molecular tools to characterize the ecology and evolution of marine organisms. Starting with her graduate research on the sea anemone, Metridium senile, Bucklin worked on patterns of reproduction{{Cite journal|last1=Bucklin|first1=A.|last2=Hedgecock|first2=D.|date=1982|title=Biochemical genetic evidence for a third species of Metridium (Coelenterata: Actiniaria)|url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/BF00397248|journal=Marine Biology|language=en|volume=66|issue=1|pages=1–7|doi=10.1007/BF00397248|s2cid=84775302|issn=0025-3162|url-access=subscription}} and genetic differentiation of species.{{Cite journal|last=Bucklin|first=Ann|date=1982-12-01|title=The annual cycle of sexual reproduction in the sea anemone Metridium senile|url=https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/z82-412|journal=Canadian Journal of Zoology|volume=60|issue=12|pages=3241–3248|doi=10.1139/z82-412|issn=0008-4301|url-access=subscription}} She has used genetics to track a variety of marine species including tube worms from hydrothermal vents,{{Cite journal|last=Bucklin|first=Ann|date=1988-10-01|title=Allozymic variability of Riftia pachyptila populations from the Galapagos Rift and 21°N hydrothermal vents|url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0198-0149%2888%2990048-9|journal=Deep Sea Research Part A.
