Research: My research looks at the effects of human-induced environmental change on genetic and morphological variation in natural populations. I am interested in understanding the mechanisms behind rapid adaptation by examining the impact of demographic fluctuations on genetic variation and how standing genetic and morphological variation influence the capacity for resilience. I use genomic tools and museum collections to answer these questions over time and geographic space and seek to improve these methods for non-model organisms.
