About the research

How do plants adapt when climates warm and their geographic ranges change?

Read the full research overview

The lab combines field and greenhouse studies with ecological genetics, genomics and bioinformatics to investigate evolution in natural plant populations. Research examines populations remaining at the edges of ranges after glacial retreat as opportunities to understand responses to warmer conditions. Other projects connect historical range expansion with mating-system traits. The group also investigates whether differences in organelle genomes, including chloroplast DNA, contribute to reproductive isolation during the earliest stages of speciation.
