The Dyer laboratory is a research lab at Virginia Commonwealth University that focuses on developing and testing tools to aid in understand how landscape features influence genetic connectivity. This requires a mix of theory development, software creation, and evaluation using (largely) non-model systems in the field.
Pollen Movement

Developing models and applications of how to quantify how landscape features, structure, and architecture impacts real-time pollen mediated gene flow in temprate tree species.
Administravia

Developing software to aid in the planning, implementation, and monitoring of data-driven curricular change for academic units.
Conservation Genetics

Range-wide assessment of standing genetic structure in spotted turtles with derivative applications to watershed-level assignment of animals confiscated from the illegal trade.
