I am interested in the process of biological diversification, and pursue research on multiple levels. At the molecular level, I study the evolution and diversification of mitochondrial genomes of arachnids. At the population level, I examine the factors that promote and inhibit speciation. At the species level, I am interested in the systematic relationships among organisms, and in how selection can influence our inferences of organismal relationships.
