About the lab
Research in our lab revolves around both conceptual and organismal themes. Conceptually,
we generally take a historical or genetic approach to understanding organismal form, function, and diversity.
We often, but not always, use molecular tools to establish a phylogenetic or population genetic framework to
explain the history of a clade of organisms. Then, we use genetic, ecological, and morphological approaches to
probe the ways in which members of that clade have diversified to exploit new habitats and life histories. MORE> |

Recruiting
If you are an undergraduate, a potential graduate student, or a postdoc with strong interests in
applying evolutionary, ecological, or conservation theory to real world organisms, we may be a home for you. We
are always interested in new lab members, particularly if you have a strong academic record, enjoy a demanding
but productive work environment, and are interested in organismal biology. Many of our recruits have strong
molecular and phylogenetic skills, although some of our recent graduates have never handled an pippeteman
(and never want to). MORE> |
