Summary of Research and Scholarship
Research Experience
My research has been centered on questions posed in the field of experimental population genetics. I am
interested primarily in the genetics of the process of speciation. Using Drosophila pseudoobscura as my
principal experimental organism, I have looked at changes in fitness, reproductive isolation, habitat choice,
chromosomal inversions, and mitochondrial DNA in evolving populations of Drosophila.Publications
