LIZ TAPANES
I'm an NSF funded post-doctoral fellow at UC San Diego's Biology Department (Ecology, Behavior & Evolution), working with Dr. Diana Rennison.
Broadly, my research program examines the maintenance and origins of biodiversity, across vertebrate systems. I leverage genomics, ecology, morphology, and bioinformatics to characterize and understand biodiversity holistically.
I work with both threatened species (i.e., sifakas), and non-threatened model organisms (i.e., threespine stickleback) to test theories, make predictions, & to ultimately robustly protect at-risk aquatic and terrestrial species.
