Research:
My research interests can be broadly summed up in two related questions: what role does hybridization play in speciation and adaptation, and what are the genetic and genomic bases of species differences and species boundaries? My research has included a diverse range of taxa including flowering plants, reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods; currently research in my lab focuses on annual sunflowers (genus Helianthus). We use both empirical and simulation-based approaches to investigate the population genetics and genomics of hybridization, speciation, and adaptation in this group and more generally.
