RESEARCH
INTERESTS
Mary
Liz Jameson is a biodiversity scientist whose research focuses on
evolutionary patterns and species diversity. Research in her lab takes
an integrative approach to examining patterns of diversity including
insect and host-plant interactions, bioinformatics that integrates
genomics and biodiversity data, morphological and molecular
phylogenetics, systematics and cybertech tools, and biogeography and
spatial distributions. Investigations in the Jameson lab include scarab
beetles and other insects. Discoveries resulting from studies in the
Jameson lab are important in documenting the biotic response to climate
change, predicting the geographic potential of invasive species, and
recognizing habitat bio-indicators, to name a few.
