Research Interests
My research uses genetic techniques to investigate the evolution of cryptic reproductive behavior (behavior that is difficult or impossible to observe directly). In particular, I am interested in the role that sexual selection plays in the evolution of promiscuous mating strategies among females, such as polyandry and multiple paternity. I also work on general topics in shark biology and conservation.
Current Research
Multiple paternity in the chain catshark (Scyliorhinus retifer); global phylogeography of the bluntnose sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus); phylogenetics of dogfish sharks (genus Squalus) in the Gulf of Mexico and Pacific Ocean
Squalus mitsukurii
