Research Interest
Natural history, morphological evolution, and speciation genetics in the nematode genus Caenorhabditis. In particular he is interested in develomental constraint and the evolution of adaptive gene complexes. Recent projects include characterizations of nematode-isopod associations, the evolution of caudal papillae pattern in male nematodes, and characterizations of post-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanisms in various combinations of Caenorhabditis specie.
