My lab examines how populations respond to their environments,
especially when environments change due to natural fluctuations or human impacts.

Research in my lab integrates
evolutionary, ecological, behavioral, physiological, and molecular approaches to examine how populations adapt to new environments and what facilitates or hinders new species to evolve and persist. We combine lab and field experiments and field observations to measure phenotypes, selection, and fitness in wild populations. We apply population genomic analyses to detect patterns of genomic divergence and identify functional genomic regions underlying adaptation. |
