Michael G. Sovic studies the genetics and evolutionary history of reptiles, especially venomous snakes, using genomic DNA markers to understand population structure, hybridization, and species diversification. His work combines conservation genetics (e.g., studying endangered rattlesnake populations) with tools for analyzing genomic data, including software for exploring mixed microbial genomic samples. Prospective students would likely engage with population genetics, phylogeography, and bioinformatics methods applied to wildlife species.
Publication output has been steady over the past decade, averaging around 3-4 papers per year with a slight decline in the most recent years.
