Along with teaching introductory biology, zoology and evolution at Kwantlen Polytechnic University my work is focused on processes that drive divergence of populations. Specifically, I am interested in how life history
variation along with variability in patterns of colonization and
dispersal influence population genetic structure. More recently
my research has expanded to applying the concepts and techniques
used in evolutionary biology and population genetics to
real-world problems, including work on colonization of invasive/non-native
species and the evolution of drug resistance in livestock parasites. |
