I am broadly interested in the evolution of plant diversity, particularly at the lowest taxonomic levels. In my lab we use multidisciplinary approaches to address a variety of questions in plant evolutionary biology from traditional taxonomy to phylogeography to the polyploidy.

 

Current research topics include:

Phylogeography and conservation genetics of California Channel Islands flora

 

Systematics of Hawaiian Schiedea—check out our newest publication on the phylogeny of Schiedea

 

Systematics of the small-flowered Platanthera

 

And others...

Chris Doffitt (Ph.D. candidate) - Systematics of Amsonia (Apocynaceae)

 

Lavanya Challagundla (Ph.D. candidate) - Molecular and cytogenetics of B chromosomes

 

Binaya Adhikari (M.S. student) - Phylogeography of Platanthera dilatata (Orchidaceae)

 

Greg Wheeler (M.S. student) - Phylogeography of California Channel Islands flora

 

Hanna Dorman (Undergraduate student) - Molecular evolution of rhizobium symbiosis
