Welcome to the Coleman Lab

We investigate the ecological and evolutionary processes that shape marine fish biodiversity across space, depth, and time. By integrating genomics, molecular ecology, field research, and advanced scientific diving, our research explores how marine populations are connected, how species evolve, and how biodiversity is structured in dynamic ocean environments.

Our work spans topics including dispersal and connectivity, phylogeography, hybridization, and mesophotic reef ecosystems, with research conducted across tropical and subtropical marine systems.
