Larrea (Creosote Bush)
This plant is the long lived dominant desert plant in North and South America. Our lab is addressing questions of hybridization, polyploidy, and secondary metabolites in Larrea. This involves greenhouse grown plants as well as field collected individuals.

Populaton Genetics
Our lab is investigating questions involving population genetic structure in a variety of different organisms and ecosystems.  Collaboration is integral to our population genetic studies. The tools used in these analyses are microsatellites and ISSR markers.
