I am broadly interested in understanding the evolutionary history and population genetic structure of organisms.  In particular, I have investigated the history and structure of several anuran species.  However, this research is not limited to terrestrial species as I have also investigated a number of marine taxa.  The common theme of this research is to understand how habitat features, historical demography, and geologic features influence connectivity among populations of a species.  Recently, this research arm has included the use of ecological niche modeling and landscape genetic approaches to analyze genetic differentiation among populations.  Here are some of my publications on these topics:<\/p>\n\n\n
