Dr. Husband's research and that of his lab group are focused on the ecology and genetics of plant populations. Husband's lab studies the mechanisms regulating genetic diversity and phenotypic evolution in plants, and, conversely, how evolutionary processes (drift, gene flow, adaptation, genetic diversity) affect the ecological function of populations (reproduction, growth, persistence, extinction). To understand these relationships Husband and his lab focus mainly on plant genetic systems, and reproductive attributes that govern mutation, gamete formation, pollination, fertilization, and organization of genetic diversity in populations.
