Rachel Prunier is now a post-doc studying the evolutionary ecology of legumes, focusing on the evolution of the interactions with their rhizobium symbionts. Her research interests include local adaptation, speciation, and adaptive radiation. Kent Holsinger is a faculty member at the University of Connecticut. His research has focused on the evolution of plant mating systems, the conservation biology of rare and endangered species (especially plants) and the development of statistical tools for the analysis of genetic diversity in wild populations. His recent work focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying evolutionary radiations in the genus Protea in south-western South Africa.
