My research interests are focused towards a synthesis of experimental field work and observations with molecular genetic markers to understand patterns of reproductive biology or population genetics of natural populations. Thus far my studies have used temporal and tropical marine fishes to reveal patterns working on a microevolutionary scale (population genetics and paternity analysis).
