Alan R. Templeton
Alan's work involves the application of molecular genetic techniques and statistical population genetics to a variety of evolutionary problems, both basic and applied. He applies evolutionary approaches to clinical genetics, including the study of the genetics of complex diseases, such as coronary artery disease and end-stage kidney disease, and to viral evolution. He also applies evolutionary genetics to conservation biology, with his main current focus being the impact of managed forest fires at the landscape level upon the genetic population structure of species inhabiting that landscape, such as the Eastern collared lizard (Crotaphytus collaris collaris) and lichen hoppers (Trimerotropis saxatilis) and the impact of human activities upon disperal in the endangered fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra infraimmuculata) in Northern Israel. Finally, he is interested in basic questions about evolution, such as the meaning of "species" and the mechanisms by which new species evolve, and human evolution over the last two million years.

Nick Griffin
My research focuses on inbreeding depression and mating system in monkey flowers.

Steve Woolley
Interested in network phylogeny estimation and methods of detecting recombination

Amy Conley
Interested in how social organization and habitat heterogeneity influence the persistence and distribution of genetic variation in a metapopulation of collared lizards

Carlo Lapid
Interested in developing coalescent models for mutational homoplasy and techniques for inferring positive selection that utilize proteomic data

Thom Sanger (PhD candidate in Jim Cheverud's lab)
My current research aims at elucidating the developmental mechanisms underlying variation in long bone length in two different groups: Anolis lizards and recombinant inbred strains of mice.  I also have interests in widely examining the evolution of the long bone growth mechanisms across tetrapods.

Felipe Martins (Visiting from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil)
The main focus of my research in to understand the biogeographic patterns of neotropical mammals and the historical processes that shaped the distribution of these animals. My model organism is the common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus.
