Bio
Dr. Zbinden is an assistant professor at the Appalachian Laboratory. He is interested in answering basic and applied research questions about how biodiversity is distributed and how it changes through the use of field, laboratory, and analytic methods. He approaches biodiversity from a "genes to ecosystems" perspective and advocates for multispecies population genomic research. Although he specializes in the study of freshwater fish communities across entire watersheds, his interests in taxa and systems are broad.
