The theory and methodology of phylogenetic inference from molecular sequences and morphological data (development of algorithms and software to facilitate model-based analysis of DNA sequences; comparison of optimality criteria used to evaluate evolutionary trees; methods of combining molecular and morphological data using maximum likelihood; assessing robustness of maximum-likelihood methods to model violation; exploration and evaluation of metaheuristics useful in searching for optimal evolutionary trees).
