Colias butterflies hybridize extensively throughout their range. Amanda Sabatino's research asks if variation in hybridization is associated with variation in an urban landscape. Photo courtesy of Amanda Sabatino.

Red deer and sika hybridize all throughout Europe. One of the big projects in the lab asks how much, and why does the amount of hybridization vary from place to place. Photo courtesy of Ken McInnes.

Jenna's 'Cold Seeds' experiment asked how different environmental variables can affect germination in Fescue hallii and F. campestris.

White footed mice are moving northward, into places that used to have only deer mice. Sargon's research asks if these species hybridize, and if that hybridization is changing over time.
