Biography
Sergei Volis, Professor of Ecology. My lab uses ecological, phylogenetic and population genetics techniques to examine the contribution of historical processes, natural selection and gene flow to genetic, morphological and ecological diversification within and among species. Especially we are interested in intraspecific diversification, which often is an intermediate step in the speciation process, and in application of our findings to conservation of endangered plant species
Research Interest
Pylogenetics and Ecology
