Research in my lab is concentrated in four areas: (1) organization and evolution of plastid genomes; (2) computational methods for comparative genomics, (3) coordinated evolution between mitochondrial. nuclear and…

We study the mechanisms by which extra-genomic nucleic acid elements evolve to become stably propagating entities in the host population. We use a common high copy number plasmid in yeast, the 2 micron circle, as a…

Broadly, I'm interested in conservation biology, agroecology, and population genetics. More specifically, my research program investigates how global land use change influences gene flow, foraging patterns, and…

Professor Juenger's research focuses on the interface of ecological and evolutionary processes in natural plant populations. In particular, he is interested in the evolution of adaptive phenotypic plasticity in…

Research in this laboratory involves evolutionary biology using mathematical models of evolution. One area of particular interest is sexual selection and the understanding of how the elaborate male mating displays…

Population biology; ecological and evolutionary genetics; hybridization. Dr. Levin's research is currently focused on the function and dynamics of the breeding system in annual species of Phlox. His lab is also…

Dr. Linder's research focuses on the evolution of complex character traits in a phylogenetic context, the genetic architecture of species, and reticulate evolution. Methods include modern molecular techniques,…
