Darragh, Kathy
Research Interest : My work combines chemical ecology, genetics, and behavior. In particular, I study the evolution of the chemical profiles of insects with a focus on the role of chemical signaling in mate choice and reproductive isolation.

Griffiths, Joanna
Research Interest : I use genomics to study evolutionary responses to climate change and marine and freshwater systems. In the Whitehead and Fangue lab, I am using quantitative genetics and physiology to explore thermal tolerance in Delta smelt.

Pless, Evlyn
Research Interest : I use population genetics to study the migration patterns, demographic history, and adaptation of diverse human populations. I am particularly interested in spatial modeling and infectious disease, as well as education and outreach.

Rushworth, Cathy
Research Interest : Evolution and genetics of reproductive strategies in natural plant populations. In the Ross-Ibarra lab I’m working on recombination rate variation and hybrid incompatibility loci in maize and teosinte.

Schiebelhut, Lauren
Research Interest: Broadly interested in how species' traits, demography, and microevolutionary mechanisms together contribute to the distribution of spatial and temporal patterns of genetic variation, and how disturbance events can (re)shape patterns of genetic diversity.
