RESEARCH INTERESTS
1. Using genomics to assess adaptive potential in the wild
Our team uses genomic information to try and understand the variation we see today in key traits important for fitness, and to predict how quickly populations might be able to evolve in the future. I'm particularly interested in the genetic basis of continuous (or “quantitative”) characters such as height, weight and breeding date, which often correlate strongly with fitness. How many genes influence a trait, and how do these genes interact with each other and with the environment to produce a range of trait measurements? How does this genetic basis constrain or encourage the response of these traits to selection? What impact does high levels of inbreeding have on an individual and a population? I use large-scale genomic tools to dissect the genetic basis of quantitative traits, particularly in wild populations, with the aim to predict how these populations will respond to future selection pressures such as anthropogenic climate change. This is particularly important for our taonga (precious) native threatened species, such as hihi (stitchbird), but also for understanding evolutionary potential of some of the most successful species, the 'global invaders' such as common myna and common starling.
2. Other interests
In addition, I have research interests in a broad range of other population and quantitative genetics and genomics, including population genetic and quantitative genetic theory, especially with regard to genomic imprinting and population differentiation, and the use of marker data to reconstruct pedigrees and describe population differentiation.
My research projects utilise genomics tools, including next generation sequencing, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping using whole genome resequencing, reduced representation approaches and high density arrays (“SNP chips”), and bioinformatics, along with statistical approaches such as quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and genome wide association scans (GWAS).
I am also interested in the continuing development of genomics resources in New Zealand, and have a special interest in conservation genetics (in particular, management of genetic diversity and the characterisation of phylogenetically unique New Zealand fauna).
