昆虫进化与蜉蝣系统基因组学

The 奥格登实验室 focuses on phylogenetic insect research to develop well-supported hypotheses using molecular and morphological data for higher-level basal pterygote and ephemeropteran relationships, and then use these phylogenies to evaluate evolutionary processes. We propose that our research will lead into the investigation of the evolution of flight and mayfly characters (subimago, gills, tusks, body form, etc.), the ecological forces that drive these changes, and their genetic mechanisms of control. We also carry out general insect collecting and natural history studies, for example we have been cataloging and studying the insects of Capitol Ref国家公园。

 

生物信息学

我们开展生物信息学和序列分析的研究。 Specifically, we are trying to understand of sequence alignment and topology accuracy, indel models, and concurrent analysis methodologies, among other interests. 

教育学

We are also interested in the pedogy of flipped clarrsooms, online vs face-to-face, and the acceptance of evolution by students and what we can do as an instructors to improve acceptance.
