Hybridization and phenotype variation of watermilfoil
Assessing hybridization and phenotypic variation of native and invasive watermilfoil in the Lake Champlain Basin.
Population genetics of wild and hatchery trout
Assessing genetic structure and diversity between wild and hatchery fish.
Ecological adaptations of non-native Mimulus
Greenhouse studies of a non-native Mimulus guttatus population near Cooperstown, NY.
Sunfish are important fishes not only to their ecosystem but also as a recreational fish. We are assessing hybridization and introgression between four members of this group (bluegill, redbreast, pumpkinseed, and green sunfishes).
Population genetics of freshwater pearly mussels
In collaboration with Paul Lord and Rowan, we are assessing the population genetics of Elliptio complanata.
