  • Huang, Huateng
    • Research: Speciation is at the heart of evolutionary study. How species originate and being maintened are still very unclear. I'm interested in the undrelying genetic mechanism of this process. I'm trying to find how the two opposite strengths of gene flow and adaptive selection operated in speciation.
    • Academic Background: B.S., Biology, University of Science and Technology of China, 2004
    • Advisor: L. Lacey Knowles
  • Oneal, Elen
    • Research: I am interested in sexual selection and the divergence of reproductive characters among populations. Specifically, I am investigating whether variation in male secondary sexual traits in crickets of the genus Amphiacusta can be explained by a null model of genetic drift.
    • Academic Background: B.A. in Biology from Boston University, 2000.
