Research in our lab is focused on the population ecology, genetics and conservation of wildlife. We use interdisciplinary approaches, integrating genetic and genomic tools with population and landscape modeling and the collection of observational and ecological data. We address fundamental and applied questions about animal dispersal, population structure and gene flow, occupancy and abundance, and ecological and evolutionary genomics, including ecological adaptation and speciation.
