Working on phylogeography, speciation and molecular ecology of fishes.
Particularly interested in fishes lacking a pelagic larval phase, in Sea of
Cortez/Pacific disjunct species, and in surfperches (Embiotocidae)
My interests are directed towards investigating historical relationships
between taxa (systematics), genetic structure within species (population
genetics) and selection on biochemicals (molecular adaptation) using genetic
data (DNA sequences).
