Research interests The goal of my work has been to study genetic variation in natural populations of plants and animals using molecular markers. I am interested in understanding how ecological factors, such as reproductive biology and human disturbances, affect the distribution of genetic variation. This information is useful for establishing conservation strategies for these populations. For more information on current projects click on the links below.
