A genogeographic analysis of caucasian vipers

虽然进化是事实，但发现并记录其随时间变化的机制构成了生物学研究的关键领域。在学术上，我的计划的主要目标是了解物种多样化的模式和过程，特别是关注生物多样性热点地区的关键物种。这项工作将集中在生物地理上重要的高加索山脉，生物多样性热点，以及山地毒蛇。了解重聚血统的遗传相互作用及其对种群遗传分化的贡献也是至关重要的。因此，我们将继续研究下加利福尼亚州重新团聚的爬行动物谱系。遗传多样性的模式非常有趣，是我们理解分化过程的核心，分化是宏观(物种一级)和微观进化(种群一级)之间的桥梁。通过结合系谱树构建分析、比较生物地理学和统计种群遗传学，我的研究计划将探索这些问题。研究计划也集中在培训上。研究生和本科生，以及来自国外的访问学者，获得分子数据收集以及分析和应用方面的专业知识。例如，许多实验室的努力都集中在保护上，特别是将遗传数据应用于拯救物种。数据是以符合现行法律的方式收集和呈现的。

Although evolution is fact, the discovery and documentation of its mechanisms of change through time form critical areas of biological investigation. Academically, my program's primary objective is to understand patterns and processes of species diversification, in particular focusing on keystone species in biodiversity hotspots. The work will centre on the biogeographically important Caucasus Mountains, a Biodiversity Hotspot, and on montane vipers. It is also critical to understand the genetic interactions of reunited lineages and their contribution to the genetic differentiation of populations. Consequently, we will continue to study reunited lineages of reptiles in Baja California. Patterns of genetic diversification are extremely interesting and central to our understanding of the process of divergence-the bridge between macro- (species-level) and microevolution (population-level). By incorporating genealogical tree-building analyses, comparative biogeography and statistical population genetics, my research program will explore these issues.The research program also concentrates on training. Graduate and undergraduate students, and visiting scholars from abroad, gain expertise in molecular data gathering, as well as analysis and application. For example, much of the labs efforts centre on conservation, in particular the application of genetic data to saving species. The data are gathered and presented in a way that conforms to existing laws.
