We use bioinformatic and computational methods to generate and integrate ancient, historical, and modern genomic data into evolutionary, population, and conservation genomics studies.
We are currently investigating changes in genomic diversity during the last 200 years in response to population decline in a variety of insect pollinators (bees and butterflies). We are also analyzing ancient DNA from massive bone accumulation sites to describe the interactions between woolly mammoth populations and human hunter-gatherers in central Europe at the end of the last glacial period.
