This site provides basic outlines for research projects in the Neubig lab, both past and present.  Most of our research is phylogenetically based, which means that we use DNA, morphological, or anatomical data to generate trees that represent evolutionary relationships.  Understanding variation in other aspects about an organism, such as geographic distributions or pollination biology, within a phylogenetic context allows for a greater understanding of evolutionary patterns.  If you would like to see some of our past and current research projects click on the tabs above.
