Our laboratory studies the genetic basis of adaptation and speciation using genomic analyses and field-based studies in the genus Aquilegia (Columbines).

Quantitative evolutionary genetics, mating system evolution, adaptation, pollination ecology, and floral evolution.

Macroevolution, phylogenetics, bioluminescence, vision, molecular evolution, complexity, marine organismal biology.

Mathematical theory of evolutionary and eco-evolutionary processes.

Evolutionary and quantitative genetics of development, robustness and fidelity of complex systems, interstellar biology.

Distributional ecology and systematics of western North American and Australian amphibians and reptiles; ecology and systematics of monitor lizards; mechanics of intergrade zones and of speciational processes; crypsis; functional and evolutionary morphology; ethnozoology; conservation biology.

We seek to understand the genetic basis of behavioral variation by combining population genetics and neurobiology in Drosophila and other species.

An evolutionary biologist using genomic and epigenomic tools to study regulatory evolution.
