Research

As a plant systematist, I am interested in studying how plants evolve, and how understanding their evolutionary history can help us classify them in more meaningful ways. My research focuses on primitive ferns of the family Ophioglossaceae (adder's tongue ferns), and I use both whole organism and molecular methods. I employ DNA sequencing to help understand evolutionary relationships among species, and a PCR based technique (ISSR markers) to evaluate genetic variation within and among populations of closely related species.
Details

Molecular Systematics of the Ophioglossaceae (Adder's Tongue Fern Family)

  • Phylogeny of Ophioglossaceae based on morphological and molecular data
  • Phylogenetic relationships in Botrychium s.s., the moonworts
  • ISSR variation within and among North American species of Sceptridium, the grapeferns, using ISSR markers and DNA sequences
  • Phylogenetic relationships among species of Ophioglossum s.s., the adder's tongue ferns
  • ISSR variation within Florida populations of Cheiroglossa palmata, the hand fern
  • ISSR variation within and between Australian and Hawaiian populations of Ophioglossum (Ophioderma) pendulum, the ribbon fern
  • ISSR variation within populations of Helmithostachys zeylanica
