Our lab is driven by two fundamental questions: How is variation maintained in natural populations? How does genomic architecture influence diversity? To address these questions we integrate ecology, evolutionary biology, and genomics to understand the maintenance of intraspecific variation in natural populations, and how this variation lends itself to the adaptability and resiliency of species. We utilize next-generation sequencing technologies coupled with a deep understanding of natural history to investigate the presence and maintenance of ecologically relevant traits and how these differ within and between populations. Our current work focuses on color variation in beetles across the Isthmus of Panama.
