Evolutionary ecology and biogeography of freshwater fishes.  My main research interests are focused on using GIS techniques and field based research to understand the historical and contemporary factors regulating freshwater fish assemblages across multiple spatial scales. 

Alison’s research focused on the responses of native freshwater assemblages to non-native introductions across multiple spatial scales.

Amy examined niche evolution of horned lizards (Phrynosoma) at a broad scale.  She also conducted fieldwork to determine whether predictions based on these broad scale analyses apply at local scales.
