[edit] Expertise

I am interested in the evolution, biogeography and conservation genetics of vertebrates, especially mammals. My recent work has focused on the biogeography and conservation of mammals inhabiting the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest of North America and on mockingbirds of the Galapagos archipelago. I am also interested in computational aspects of using molecular data to date past evolutionary events and to infer historical demographic patterns.
