Research Interests

My research is focused on several aspects of evolutionary biology, specifically speciation, species delimitation, phylogeography, population genomics, and bioinformatics. Most of my work involves lizards (family Phrynosomatidae) in southwestern North America. I am especially interested in applying evolutionary theory towards modern challenges in conservation biology.
