Carey Krajewski

Professor Emeritus

I work on reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships at the species level within two major clades, the Australasian marsupial order Dasyuromorphia and the avian superfamily Gruoidea.  Dasyuromorphians are some 70 species of carnivorous marsupials including the numbat, thylacines, the ...read full profile >>

Richard H. Thomas

Associate Professor Emeritus

I am interested in the evolution of genetic systems and in the evolution and maintenance of sexual reproduction. We are characterizing the genome of a species of a putatively asexual higher taxon of mites to better understand the factors maintaining sexual reproduction in the vast majority of metazoan ...read full profile >>
