Aloha from southern Illinois!
Welcome to the Anderson Lab web page. We have a wide array of research interests that can really only be encompassed under the umbrella terms "invertebrate biology" and "evolutionary biology". Members of the lab have conducted research on 1) cephalopod phylogeny, population genetics and phylogeography, 2) land snail phylogeny, population genetics, phylogeography and ecology, 3) cave amphipod population genetics, 4) metazoan phylogeny and 5) phylogenetic taxonomy. We have received funding from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the USDA Forest Service, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Conchologists of America to support our research.
Follow the links to find out more about our research interests, lab publications, Dr. Anderson's courses, and any other miscellaneous stuff that we think is worthy of your attention. Thanks for dropping by!
