Using genetics as a tool to examine past demographic change in animals
I'm using both mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA analyses on modern and historic museum specimens to investigate the population history of different species. The aim is to develop a better undertanding on how past climate change as well as anthropogenic changes have affected the demography and genetic variation in these taxa. My work encompasses a wide variety of species, including butterflies, otters, fish, whales and moose.
