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 as a model system
• Evolution and ecology of unisexual vertebrates; see my lab page for more details
• Conservation genetics of endangered snakes and amphibians
• Phylogeography and population genetic structure of snakes and birds
