研究领域

I use molecular markers to study various evolutionary and ecological aspects of natural populations and how they relate to physical (e.g. glaciers) and non-physical (e.g. foraging patterns) barriers. Much of my research focuses on vertebrates examining a range of topics from mating systems, hybrization, population structure and systematics.
