me


My name is Kellie Heckman and this site provides information on my research, projects, and provides various resources.

I am a postdoctoral fellow at Yale in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Dept. and I study phylogenetics, phylogeography, population genetics, and paternity of North American freshwater fish (darters) and endangered primates (lemurs) .

Featured:

  • Look for the upcoming issue of MPE: Heckman, K.L. , Mariani, C.L., Rasoloarison, R., Yoder, A.D. Multiple nuclear loci reveal patterns of incomplete lineage sorting and complex species history within mouse lemurs (Microcebus). Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 43: 353-367


  • Manuscript published at BMC Evolutionary Biology: Heckman, K.L., Rasoazanabary E., Machlin E., Godfrey L., Yoder A.D. Incongruence between genetic and morphological diversity in Microcebus griseorufus of Beza Mahafaly. See coverage at New Scientist, Science Daily, and Yale.
