There is always more diversity out there than meets the eye...
... and the work in our research group – Dr. John Wares and Dr. Bud Freeman, as guides – involves studying the distribution of spatial and other trait diversity through genomic data in aquatic ecosystems. As much as possible we ground this work around organisms that need such data to aid inference in how they move, how they are adapted, and who they interact with.
