Plant ecological genetics/genomics
Black Hills State University
Projects are underway to understand the ecology and evolution of
range limit dynamics, and to understand apparent runaway evolution of
host-parasite interactions. We take an integrative, collaborative
approach involving ecology, evolution, physiology and
genetics/genomics. To more readily incorporate genetics, we work on
close perennial relatives of Arabidopsis that occur in natural
habitats near campus and in other mountainous habitats throughout the
west. Black Hills State University is located in the beautiful and
diverse northern Black Hills of South Dakota. For specific
information on potential thesis projects contact David Siemens --
