Our lab group works towards understanding the many fine-scale biological processes associated with the formation and maintenance of biodiversity. The main areas of our research are Systematics, Biogeography/Phylogeography and Ecology.

Research Focus

Biodiversity
The existence and maintenance of a varied range of different organisms in a particular place at a particular time.

Systematics
How different groups of organisms are evolutionarily related to each other.

Biogeography & Phylogeography
How organisms are distributed on a spatial and temporal scale and how this influences the patterns of their speciation.
