Overview of Research Interests

Research in my laboratory addresses problems in evolutionary biology, molecular ecology, and conservation genetics through a combination of field work, lab analyses of genetic and protein variation, and statistical modeling of genetic data. Current areas of focus include:

  • Evolution of adaptive variation at the molecular level using snake venom proteins from Sistrurus rattlesnakes as a model system
  • Conservation genetics of endangered and harvested species
  • Phylogeography and population genetic structure of snakes and birds
