How do new species form? I'm a biologist trying to answer this question by studying reproductive isolation: the barriers that prevent species from hybridizing. I want to understand the mechanisms that produce isolation, if they are genetic or learned, the genes underlying isolation, and where these genes are located in the genome. To do this, my research combines behavioral and quantitative genetic studies in the laboratory, field sampling, and comparative genomics.
