Area(s) of Specialization:
- Evolutionary Biology; Behavioral Ecology; Behavioral, Ecological, and Evolutionary Genomics; Speciation
Research:
- Evolution and Genomics/Proteomics of Adaptive Phenotypes
- Speciation and the rapid evolution of barriers to fertilization in crickets
Our primary interest is understanding the evolution and genetic basis of adaptive phenotypes (i.e., linking genotype with phenotype; see Huestis and Marshall 2009, Bioscience).
We have been especially interested in two main topics: (1) the genetics of speciation and (2) the dynamics of genes and phenotypes that exhibit environmental clines.
