Lab Members

Giacomo Bernardi

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)

 Kober

Kord M Kober

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).
