Postdoctoral Researchers

Dr. Edward A. Myers
I’m an evolutionary biologist and herpetologist, my research addresses questions in comparative population genomics and diversification of snakes by integrating genomic, morphological, and spatial data. Broadly my work is focused on understanding the processes that generate genomic diversity and initiate population structure as well as better understanding the evolution of reptiles. In the Parkinson Lab I will be reconstructing biogeographic history and assessing patterns of community assembly within New World viperids and using comparative genomics to understand trait evolution.
