There is a wide variety of organisms on this planet, yet one of the great unanswered questions in biology is how new species are formed and maintained at the genetic level. The question of species formation and maintenance is critical for our understanding of evolution as well as the conservation of endangered species. Two primary goals of research on species formation are determining the genetic factors that prevent interspecies reproduction and identifying the evolutionary forces driving their divergence. My research focuses on the identification and characterization of genes contributing to variation in reproductive traits both within and between species, providing novel insight into the mechanisms by which new species are formed as well as enhancing our general understanding of the genetic basis of complex traits.

这个星球上有各种各样的生物体，但生物学中尚未解答的重大问题之一是新物种如何在基因水平上形成和维持。 物种形成和维持问题对于我们理解进化以及濒危物种的保护至关重要。 物种形成研究的两个主要目标是确定阻止种间繁殖的遗传因素和确定驱动物种分化的进化力量。 我的研究重点是识别和表征导致物种内部和物种之间生殖性状变异的基因，为新物种形成的机制提供新的见解，并增强我们对复杂性状遗传基础的一般理解。
