My research interests focus on the use of molecular tools in addressing diverse hypotheses focusing on animal ecology and evolution. By using 454 ultrasequencing, I am currently investigating the magnitude and distribution of marine/estuarine benthic Eukaryotic biodiversity, transcriptomic responses to environmental peturbation and performing mitogenomic analyses within the Araneae. These projects (alongside ongoing interests in population genomics and phylogeography) facilitate the investigation of links between biodiversity and ecosystem processes, understanding environmental genomic responses to change/adaptive evolution and the advancement of the field of phylogenetics.
