I use DNA-based genetic techniques to study a diverse set of conceptual and empirical questions related to evolution, conservation and behaviour in wild birds and snakes. My students, collaborators and I use a combination lab and field work to study questions about sexual selection and the evolution of reproductive behavior, how contemporary and historical factors mold the genetic structure of populations, and the molecular evolution of traits which potentially have adaptive effects at the level of the individual phenotype. I also have a strong interest in the conservation implications of the results of these studies. Below, I describe three areas of focus of my current research.
