Research Interests
My research interests primarily fall in the following areas of herpetology and evolutionary biology: (1) pattern, process, and inference in comparative biology; (2) systematics, population genetics, and species delimitation; (3) phenotypic evolution (in particular evolution of body size and sexual dimorphism); (4) community assembly and biogeography; and (5) evolutionary dynamics of interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes.
