Our research investigates ecological and evolutionary aspects of adaptive radiations. Current projects span a wide range of taxa and time scales, including adaptive radiation in E. coli biofilms, evolution of island lizards in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean, and macroevolutionary dynamics of vertebrates. You will find more information about all of these projects on the research and publications pages.

Along with some other friends, I have started posting to a blog, Dechronization. You'll find tons of great stuff there, including book and software reviews, discussion of current papers in the literature, and many other things.

Congratulations to Nick Smeenk and Brian Hammond, who both graduated in May 2008 and are on to new places!

We will be adding two graduate students to the lab this fall, Simone DesRoches and Denim Jochimsen. Both will be completing their PhD work in the Harmon lab.

Harmon lab meetings continue this summer, at 3:30 p.m. in the reading room off of the Herbarium.
