J. Andrew DeWoody studies genetic and genomic diversity in wild animal populations, including birds, whales, otters, coyotes, and amphibians, with an emphasis on how this diversity can be measured and used to guide conservation decisions. Much of the work applies DNA and genomic tools to questions about population structure, evolutionary history, and management units, often in collaboration with conservation policy frameworks like the IUCN and the Global Biodiversity Framework. Prospective students would likely work on projects combining molecular genetics, population biology, and wildlife conservation applications.
