The goals of the Sabeti lab are to study the effect of natural selection on the human genome and the genomes of other organisms and uncover the traits that have emerged to shape these species, and to understand mechanisms...

My lab is very broadly interested in the evolution of floral morphology. We use molecular, morphological, and phylogenetic approaches to study how flowers have changed over the course of evolutionary time. Research projects in...
Faculty Support: Tracy Barbaro
We study evolution, hybridization, and speciation - mainly in butterflies. Methods range from collecting trips in dugouts, field experiments in the Amazon rainforest, population genetic inferences about selection and gene...
Faculty Support: Amie Jones
My lab and I work on the evolution of interactions between different kinds of tiny consumers, especially beetles and other arthropods, and their much larger hosts, such as plants or large animals. We use phylogenetics to...

My laboratory focuses on the interface between evolutionary biology and genomics. The main goal is to understand the processes by which organisms evolve, integrated systems change through time, and new species come into being...
Faculty Support: Meri Petollari
A major goal of evolutionary biology is to understand the process of speciation. Of particular interest is evaluating the role of natural selection in causing diverging populations to become species. Addressing these goals...

We study the evolutionary biology of birds and relatives, combining field, museum and genomics approaches to understand the basis of avian diversity, evolution and behavior. Our guiding approaches include population...
Martin A. Nowak is Professor of Mathematics and of Biology at Harvard University. He works on the mathematical description of evolutionary processes, including the evolution of cooperation and human language, as well as the dynamics of virus infections...

Population samples of DNA sequences contain information about both contemporary and ancient processes and events. I use mathematical models to describe how these current and historical factors conspire to produce the patterns...
Faculty Support: Tracy Barbaro
Our research focuses on understanding how variation is generated and maintained in natural populations. In particular, we are interested in understanding both the proximate (i.e., molecular, genetic and developmental...
