My research tackles important and timely questions at the interface of evolutionary, ecological and conservation genetics.  I am particularly interested in the factors that shape genetic diversity over space and time, as well as in the impacts of genetic variation on individual fitness and population viability.  My research is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, combining genetics and genomics approaches with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, stable isotope analysis, endocrinological and immunological profiling, movement analysis, in situ mesocosms, reciprocal transplant experiments and thermal challenge experiments.
