Research Description
Ian Wang studies?the ways in which geographic and environmental variation shape patterns of genetic and morphological variation.? His major research interests lie within three areas in this general framework: 1) landscape genetics, 2) ecological and conservation genomics, and 3) phenotypic evolution.
Current research projects in his lab include:
Landscape genetic studies through time in amphibians and reptiles from California
Convergence and parallel evolution in the adapative radiation of?Anolis?lizards
Variation in aposematic traits in poison frogs
Conservation genetics in urban-wildland habitat mosaics
Across all of these topics, the work in his lab seeks?to integrate genetic, ecological, and landscape data, using a variety of approaches, to gain a more complete understanding of natural diversity.
