Enhancing Vallisneria americana restoration using knowledge of genotypic and phenotypic diversity
… conditions, and assess evidence of inbreeding or outbreeding depression. I quantified the structure of genetic diversity in five sites from the tidal Potomac, Hudson, and Kennebec Rivers, and 33 sites across the species' distribution in the Potomac. Genotypic (0.1-1.0) and allelic diversity …

Population genetics of Michaux's sumac, smooth sumac, and their hybrids
… hybrid swamping if hybrids are fertile, or outbreeding depression if hybrids display reduced fitness. I used genotyping-by-sequencing to estimate the extent of hybridization at Fort Pickett and Deepwater, and to assess how such hybridization may impact survival of Michaux's sumac as a …

… geographic groups identified in order to avoid outbreeding depression.

Population Fragmentation and Genetic Diversity of Chrosomus sp. cf. saylori (Clinch Dace)
… which would render translocations a risk for outbreeding depression. The findings of this study can inform conservation management in identifying possible sources of individuals for translocations among populations or for augmentation following captive breeding.

Role of Hybridization in a Biological Invasion: An Experimental Study with Silene Latifolia
Biological invasions are now the second leading cause of loss of biodiversity. Recently, hybridization has been hypothesized as a mechanism for invasion success. The combination of individuals from different gene pools may create novel genotypes having increased invisibility. The goal of my …
