Arntzen and <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.lifesci.ucla.edu\/eeb-shafferlab\/postdoctoral-researchers\/\">Dr. B. Wielstra<\/a>. Her interests lie in the processes of evolution and speciation. Her graduate research focuses on hybridization on a genomic level in amphibian species, with a main focus on moving hybrid zones. She currently studies hybridization between two species of toads, the common toad, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><i>Bufo bufo<\/i><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium\"> and the spined toad, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><i>Bufo spinosus<\/i><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium\"> in France. During her visit at the Shaffer lab, she is conducting a ddRAD (double-digest restriction associated DNA) and associated bioinformatics project to characterize this potential example of a moving hybrid zone. Previously she has worked on the genetics of the salamandrid genus <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><i>Ommatotriton<\/i><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium\"> (banded newts).
