Clemson University Department of Biological Sciences

Welcome! We explore the ecological and evolutionary processes that generate diversity in flowering plants. We address questions primarily focused on floral pigmentation and plant reproductive systems. We use a variety of approaches including ecological and quantitative genetics, phenotypic manipulation and pollination experiments, population genetics, and comparative phylogenetics.
