Dr. Avise studies the natural history, ecology, and evolution of animal populations in nature, primarily through the use of genetic markers. Topics studied range from micro- to macro-evolutionary, and include biogeographic reconstruction, phylogeography, analyses of genetic parentage, mating patterns, geographic population structure, gene flow, hybridization, introgression, speciation, systematics, and phylogeny. His interests also include the relevance of evolutionary biology and genetics to human affairs.
