Research
I conduct research in
behavior, ecology, evolution, and genetics of free-living animals.
I am interested in the ways that ecology and behavior affect evolutionary
processes and genetic structure in natural populations. Most of my
research has been on birds, though recently I have begun working on the
conservation genetics of freshwater mussels. Click on the links below
for more detailed descriptions of these projects.

processes in communally breeding Mexican Jays (Aphelocoma ultramarina).
