Kay has a diversity of research interests that generally focus on plant evolution in human altered environments.
Understanding the genetic basis of behavior and associated signatures of evolutionary convergence in three species of Caenorhabditis nematodes.
Hanna’s research interests includethe role of hybridization during invasion in Cakile.

Cris is broadly interested in marine evolutionary ecology and how organisms survive environmental change.
Yael’s research interests involve using genetic rescue to manage populations of an endangered grassland daisy.
My main area of interest is the role of structural variation in the evolution of invasive species during range expansion.
