Students in my lab examine aspects of speciation from the perspective of geographic variation in behavior in vertebrate systems. Most of our research focuses on a unisexual-bisexual species complex of mollies consisting of the Amazon molly (Poecilia formosa), an all female gynogentic fish that arose from a mating event between a sailfin molly (Poecilia latipinna) and an Atlantic molly (Poecilia mexicana) ~ 100,000 years ago.
Additionally, students in my lab examine aspects of the behavior of the San Marcos Salamander, a threatened species endemic to the San Marcos River. Behavioral data on this species will provide important insights into conservation decisions for this and other threatened species of salamanders.
