研究领域

I and my students are interested in evolutionary dynamics. Students have worked on a wide variety of topics, including many of conservation interest. Typically a major part of every thesis is done in the field, and my students often become excellent naturalists; serious lab work would have to be supervised by a collaborator. The on-going research programs that I maintain are concerned with floral evolution in penstemons and the macroevolution of California's bryophyte flora. I tend to work very closely with students especially on the design and analysis of their studies, although every student is different and I have no strict receipe for advising.
