Summary

I am a biologist who performs integrative research on the ecology and evolution of natural populations. The majority of my research efforts have utilized molecular data to investigate how geological processes and glacial cycles have influenced the evolution of western North American freshwater fishes. I now use genomic data to address important questions in population genetics, co-evolution, and evolutionary ecology in additional taxa, including figs and their associated pollinating and non-pollinating fig wasps.
