Conservation GeneticsResearch with impactThe Kartzinel Lab has a long-standing interest in using genetic and genomic data to produce real-world conservation advances for a wide diversity of plants and animals. Currently, we are working with from The Sloth Conservation Foundation and a broad network of governmental and non-profit collaborators to better understand the evolutionary history -- and conservation challenges -- involving sloths at the intersection of the Americas. Past work has focused on a diversity of rare and endangered species such as diamondback terrapin, orchids, and bromeliads. We have also worked on the genetics of invasive species across their native and non-native ranges, including the notorious kudzu vine and Anolis lizards.
