Greg Pauly![]() gbpauly@ucdavis.edu Research:I am interested in phylogenetics, population genetics, and amphibian and reptile conservation. Generally, I use molecular genetic techniques and comparative methods to investigate the evolution of biological, morphological, and behavioral diversity. In much of my recent work, I have investigated the evolution of mating signals and mate recognition systems in anurans. I also use molecular approaches to identify inter- and intraspecific patterns of genetic variation that can inform the conservation and management of declining species. |
