Evolutionary Genomics |
Bonnie Bowen |
Evolutionary processes and genetic structure in natural population of animals, particularly behavioral ecology of birds, and conservation genetics of freshwater mussels. |
Anne Bronikowski |
Evolutionary genetics and population biology of life history variation in snakes. The evolution and persistence of senescence and the menopause in mammals. |
Fred Janzen |
Molecular and experimental evolutionary ecology, primarily of reptiles; the relative impact of environmental and genetic factors on variation in, and evolution of, adaptive physiological traits like sex-determining mechanisms; the genetic structure of, and relationships among, individuals, populations, and higher taxa. |
Dennis Lavrov |
Molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and comparative genomics; use of gene order data for the analysis of ancient relationships; evolution of animal mitochondrial DNA with a special emphasis on arthopods and sponges; bioinformatics. |
John Nason |
Population and conservation genetics of plants and their associated insect herbivores and pollinators. Topics of particular interest include the reproductive dynamics, genetic structuring, and phylogeography of obligate pollination mutualisms (e.g., figs and fig wasps), as well as the reproductive and genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation in animal dispersed plant species, especially tropical trees. |
Jeanne Serb |
Molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolution of developmental pathways; identification of genetic and environmental factors involved in complex trait evolution, with an emphasis on eyes and life history in molluscs. |
Nicole Valenzuela |
Ecological and Evolutionary genomics of phenotypic plasticity, developmental
pathways, and sex determination. Life history evolution, conservation and
ecological genetics of turtles. |
Jonathan Wendel |
Evolutionary divergence between populations and species, speciation mechanisms, and molecular evolution. |
