Emeritus Email: jlh3@uga.edu Lab Website: http://research.franklin.uga.edu/hamrick/ Lab: Plant Sciences, Rm 2203 Lab Phone: 706-542-0281 Office: Plant Sciences, Rm 2512 Office Phone: 706-542-1826 Research Research Interests: My laboratory studies the genetics and evolution of natural plant populations. We are particularly interested in the genetic structure of plant populations and in those factors that influence the development of genetic structure; natural selection, the mating system, pollen movement and seed dispersal.
