I am broadly interested in the evolution of insects. Specifically, most of the research in my laboratory is on the population genetics and molecular phylogenetics of insects; we use phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences to examine the evolution of various traits. We use microsatellite analysis and isozyme analysis to quantify the breeding structure of various beneficial and pest insects.
