Selected Publications	The goal of the lab's research projects is to understand how genetics interacts with an organism's ecology to determine the evolution of traits under natural selection. To study genetic and ecological effects we perform research in both field and laboratory settings. Currently, most research projects in the lab uses the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, but any system that allows the use of genetic data to get new insights into interesting ecological and evolutionary questions are welcomed. There are 3 main projects at the moment: - The molecular basis of response to selection - Mapping complex traits using Recombinant Inbred lines from heterogeneous stocks (RIHS) - Genetic basis of quantitative variation in susceptibility and tolerance to pathogens Latest version Sept/2006
