Student Research

Allison Fuiten

Allie works on osteological correlates of ecomorphological variation in Melanesian forest frogs.

Charles Linkem

Charles works on phylogenetic systematics of lygosomeine skinks of Asia. See Charles' website

Cameron Siler

Cameron's research interests lie in the fields of biogeography and systematics, with recent studies aimed at better understanding the patterns and processes of morphological character evolution and species-level diversification. See Cameron's website

Jeet Sukumaran

Jeet works on computational systematics with an emphasis on testing and refining new methods of biogeographical inference. See Jeet's website

Jamie Oaks

Jamie is a computational phylogeneticist with an interest in crocodilian diversification and timing of diversification in the genus Crocodilus.

Jesse Grismer

Jesse is interested in biogeography and dispersal patterns of oases in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

Luke Welton

Luke's research focuses on the systematic relationships and conservation of Asian squamates, with primarily interest in monitor lizards of the Philippines.

Anthony Barley

Anthony is interested in phylogenetics, evolution, and speciation in reptiles and amphibians. He is currently working on phylogenetics, species limits, and landscape genetics in Asian skinks.
