My research emphasis is in understanding micro-evolutionary processes at small spatial scales, such as clonal species life history strategies, with focus on dispersal and sexual versus asexual allocation.
I am also curious about the evolution at the biogeographic scale, and the discoveries that can be driven by analyzing genetic diversity found across the distribution range of species.
My current research focuses on the molecular ecology of marine plants and algae. Presently my funded research is related to the following topics:
California giant kelp seascape genetics
Landscape genetics in a coastal lagoon using seagrasses as models
Understanding the drivers of sexual and asexual allocation strategies in marine plants.
