Sandra Emme
Research Associate
semme@Clemson.edu
Sandy has a strong background in microbiology and works with nearly all lab members on projects involving molecular biology, developing and troubleshooting techniques. She recently finished an enormous phylogeographic survey of the transisthmian arcid bivalve subgenus Acar.

Tamara McGovern
Postdoctoral Researcher
tmcgove@clemson.edu
Tammy’s primary research interest is the evolution of reproductive strategies, and most of her work focuses on organismal systems in which the tradeoffs between sexual and asexual reproduction can be evaluated experimentally in the field and the laboratory. She is currently working on the phylogeography of intertidal marine invertebrates in the North Pacific.

Holly Nance
PhD Student
hnance@clemson.edu
Holly works on patterns of population structure and connectivity in the endangered scalloped hammerhead shark, Sphyrna lewini. She has developed highly polymorphic microsatellite loci that she will use to evaluate spatial and temporal patterns of genetic structure among eastern Pacific populations subject to commercial and artisanal fishing.

Nicole Cox
PhD Student
lncox@clemson.edu
Nicole recently finished her Bachelor's degree at Auburn University where she worked in Ken Halanych's lab on the phylogeography of Antarctic sea urchins. At Clemson, she has started on a project using phylogeographic methods as a means to understand the geography of speciation in the North Pacific Ocean.

Felicia Hawthorne
Undergraduate Researcher
felicih@clemson.edu
Felicia recently left the lab to start graduate school at Duke University where she will start in the PhD program in Genetics and Genomics. In our lab, Felicia helped develop and used microsatellite loci to investigate patterns of larval dispersal and recruitment in the bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) in North Carolina.
