   abstract: She develops and leads a research program inConservation and Landscape
     Genetics and Genomics. Broadly, she seeks to understand how natural and human
     induced landscape and environmental change impact populations, and shape evolutionary
     potential. Dr. Vandergast's laboratory group approaches genetic research to
     inform conservation in three focal areas. 1) At the population level, the team
     estimates important population parameters such as effective migration (or gene
     flow) and the number of breeding adults (or effective population size), and
     quantifies the impacts of landscape changes and disturbance on these parameters.
     This work informs individual species management. 2) Dr. Vandergast's lab also
     merges genetic data with mapping and modeling tools to inform biodiversity conservation
     efforts. Specifically, they define evolutionary significant units within species,
     reveal evolutionary mechanisms responsible for diversification, and identify
     regions with high genetic diversity for protection. 3) The team develops genetic
     approaches for species detection, individual mark recapture, and studies ecological
     associations (such as predator/prey relationships). These techniques often increase
     monitoring effectiveness and efficiency when replacing or combining with standard
     field methodologies.RESEARCH INTERESTSLandscape geneticsPopulation geneticsConservation
