Summary
My research interests are currently in the fields of conservation and invasion genetics. Some current conservation projects include understanding the population structure of Texas horned lizards for reintroduction efforts, understanding the factors that allow Texas horned lizards to live in human modified landscapes, and genetic monitoring of bats killed by wind turbines. Current invasive species research includes studying the phylogeography of Brazilian peppertree and hydrilla to determine their origins and gain insight into their success as invaders. These studies are also being conducted to improve the search for biological control insects.
