Some species can evolve and adapt, responding to changing environments, while others cannot. I am attempting to understand the genomic structures and genetic basis affecting evolvability and evolutionary constraints. Particular themes include evolutionary response to global environmental changes, genomic structures conferring evolvability and adaption to variable environments, predicting species distribution and biodiversity response to climate changes, and the evolution of temperature adaptation and of invasive species. I have used various organisms including Cuban Anolis lizards as model organisms for adaptive radiation, guppies as model organisms for maintenance of extremely high polymorphisms of phenotypes, butterflies whose distributions are being changed as a result of global warming, and Japanese honeybee and bumblebees that are important organisms in the pollination service.
