Research Interest

Broadly, my research interests are in the ecology and evolution of plant reproductive systems.  In particular, my most recent research has considered two features that promote outbreeding in plants: the evolution of separate (as opposed to combined) sexes and the evolution of physiological mechanisms that prevent self-fertilization.  I am interested in the evolutionary and population genetic histories of plant populations, especially as these topics relate to the evolution of plant mating systems.
