Summary

J.S.F. Barker's research interests are: population and evolutionary genetics - maintenance of genetic variation in natural populations, using model systems of Drosophila species that breed in cactus rots, and in Hibiscus flowers; Conservation of Domestic Animal Diversity - use of allozyme and molecular markers to characterize genetic differentiation among breeds and populations.
