Anna Fiona Feller

I am an evolutionary biologist fascinated by biological diversity and its origins. My research centers around the question of how populations evolve and maintain reproductive isolation, eventually leading to the formation of distinct species.

One of my favorite aspects of studying speciation is that it requires integrating many different methods and tools to answer these questions, from behavioral experiments and morphological measurements to genomic analyses.

I have worked on several systems including sticklebacks, cichlids, and flowers. Currently, I am working on characterizing reproductive isolation traits and patterns of gene flow -and to what extent these two correlate- in perennial Phlox wildflowers.
