Lacey Knowles is an Associate Professor whose research focuses on the demographic and selective processes driving species divergence. Her research also addresses the methodological and statistical issues involved in studying species diversification, phylogeography, and phylogenetic relationships of recently diverged and rapidly speciating taxa.
