A diversity of research tactics are employed, but a common approach is to integrate phylogeographic and population genetic studies with ecological field work. Geometric morphometric techniques are commonly used to quantify phenotypes.
Research in the lab includes projects on salamanders, turtles, and damselflies.
Welcome to the Kuchta Lab
We are interested in the evolution of organismal biodiversity, including species formation, biogeography, adaptation, and natural selection. The approach is grounded in organismal biology while pursuing a modern research agenda.
