Sharma, Prashant

Biography Phylogenomics; historical biogeography; macroevolution; comparative development Our research group works on phylogenomics, evolutionary developmental biology, and comparative genomics of ancient invertebrate groups, with emphasis on chelicerate arthropods. Our efforts are motivated by the goals of understanding how to break impasses in the resolution of recalcitrant nodes in the Tree of Life, as well as …

Lee, Carol

Biography Research in the Lee Laboratory focuses on evolutionary responses to catastrophic environmental change, including biological invasions, climate change, and pollution (e.g. oil spills). Our research integrates evolutionary genetics/genomics and physiology in an ecological context in order to gain core insights into mechanisms that enable expansions into novel niches. Much of the research centers on …
