个人简介

I am interested in ways of testing ideas about macroevolutionary patterns and mechanisms, particularly the way that phylogenies constructed from DNA sequence data can be used to understand evolutionary past and processes. But in order to use molecular data to understand evolution, we need to understand how evolutionary information is recorded in the genome

研究领域

How patterns of trait evolution on phylogenies reveal macroevolutionary mechanisms, particularly for traits that reduce lineage diversification Analysis of DNA sequence data to reconstruct the construction of species assemblages over time. How patterns and rates of molecular evolution are influenced by species characteristics, environment, and macroevolutionary processes
