About

Our research interests are in the areas of population genetics, conservation genetics, systematics, molecular ecology and evolutionary biology. We use molecular markers study the forces that shape and maintain population structure in the marine realm.  Many of our research questions ultimately focus on the effects of genetic structure on the management and conservation of marine species.
