Ebbs Lab at SUNY Purchase
The Ebbs Lab is focused on using population genetic approaches to elucidate evolutionary histories and community structure within complex host-parasite systems. A central theme is to understand how host-specific traits influence parasite evolution and community assembly. We primarily focus on parasites and pathogens of waterfowl and freshwater snails.
Our research is collections based, relying on and contributing to natural history collections.
