Research in the Frederickson Lab focuses on the ecology and evolution of mutualism, or cooperation between species. Mutualisms are extremely common in nature so common, in fact, that every plant and animal on Earth may be involved in at least one mutualism. Sanders; all other photos G. Jason wins an NSERC CGS-D! .

Research in my laboratory is focused broadly on the use of phylogenetic hypotheses for studying patterns of speciation and adaptive radiation in monophyletic groups of teleost fishes. Much of our primary work involves the testing and construction of phylogenetic hypotheses using DNA sequences. Molecular phylogenetic trees are used in studies of fossil-calibration of molecular clocks, geographic modes of speciation, the evolution of morphological and ecological disparity, and.
