Current Projects
Explore how our current work connects genetics and ecology with restoration and conservation decisions.
Big sagebrush
Genetic differences among big sagebrush subspecies can shape where they thrive and which populations exchange genes. We are studying these patterns to inform seed sourcing and restoration across the West.

Southwestern ecosystems
A decision framework for matching post-fire objectives, recovery potential, plant materials, and implementation to the needs of a site.

Restoration monitoring
Genetic monitoring can reveal whether seeded plants establish, spread beyond a treatment area, or interbreed with local wild plants. We are studying these outcomes across four Utah seeding projects.

Endangered species
We are preparing genetic data to explore diversity among western lily populations and possible hybridization with tiger lily, helping build a stronger foundation for conservation decisions.

Grand Canyon conservation
Two genetic studies reached different interpretations of Humpback Chub in Havasu Creek. We are examining how sampling and analysis shaped those findings, and what additional evidence could clarify the population’s history and inform future management.
