My research interests include the causes and consequences of interspecific hybridization, invasion biology, maintenance and effects of genetic diversity, the evolution of genome size and polyploidy, and the evolution of flower color. My lab often uses plants and their animal associates (herbivores, seed dispersers, pollinators, ant guards) as study systems. We employ a variety of techniques, including experimental field and greenhouse studies, techniques from molecular and statistical genetics, and phylogenetic comparative methods
