Current Lab Members
Mitch Cruzan, Principal Investigator

Professor of Evolutionary Biology
My primary research interests are in the fields of ecology, population genetics, and evolution. Our research projects focus on plant ecological and evolutionary genomics, the evolutionary outcomes of hybridization, and processes of adaptation, diversification, and speciation. Our research activities include population genetics, genomics approaches to estimate dispersal, plant reproduction, and the the evolutionary ecology of invasion.
