Maile Neel

Maile Neele committed to conducting research on problems faced by practitioners, and communicating my results such that they provide specific, practical guidance for conservation policy and management. Neele is committed to training students and post-doctoral researchers to work at the interface between science, policy, and practice. Working on a wide variety of conservation issues has given Neele the opportunity to integrate techniques from traditionally disparate fields  to quantify genetic, species, and community diversity.  She consequently draws on a variety of disciplines and methodologies including population genetics, systematics, and population, community and landscape ecology and restoration ecology. Research in the lab also spans a range of localities and scales, including the Chesapeake Bay, southern California, and the Atlantic coastal plain.
