My general interests are in evolution, ecology and conservation biology. My focus is on understanding the evolutionary and ecological dynamics of natural populations using demographic and genetic models, molecular genetic data and field data. I have a long-standing interest in combining population genomics and demographic information to infer important evolutionary and demographic parameters for wild populations. More recently, my postdocs and I have focused upon the role of phenotypic plasticity in adaptation.
