Welcome
to the Harris Lab at The University of Alabama! Our
research is involved with understanding
phylogenetic and biogeographic components of
biological diversity, focusing on freshwater
fishes. In order to address various questions, we
use an array of tools, including traditional (e.g.,
morphological, ecological, and life history) and
molecular characters (e.g., DNA sequences and
fragments and genomic information), historical and
ecological biogeography, paleohydrology, and
population genetics. Integrating these disciplines
falls within the context of phylogenetics,
phylogeography, and population/conservation
genetics. If you are interested in joining our lab,
please contact me.
