Sites, Jack

Interests: Basic issues in evolutionary biology, including patterns & processes of speciation (and with this, empirical methods for testing species boundaries, hybrid zone dynamics); the use of several classes of markers to assess metapopulation structure and patterns of gene flow (from both basic and conservation perspectives), and the coding and use of several kinds of markers (allozymes, chromosomes, sequences, & morphological data) to reconstruct phylogenies (usually within families or within genera - nothing too deep). Specializes on amphibians and especially reptiles, taxa indigenous to the New and Old World tropics.
