Conservation Genetics Research Group

The conservation genetics lab is comprised of people with interests in ecology, evolution and not surprisingly, conservation. We use a mixture of molecular and field-based approaches to answer questions that are basic or applied in nature.

While each of us can often be seen sporting white lab coats and waggling pipettes we also spend much time in environments which include deserts, mountains, tall forests, islands and the ocean.

Adelphobates is found in Amazonian rainforest and we are interested in the processes underpinning the colour polymorphisms in this species.
