Methods development
I love to see new methods develop, both in my lab (below) as well as an A/Editor in Methods in Ecology and Evolution. In both, we strive to develop open, transparent methods that will help to move science forward. 

Deep-Sequencing Method for Quantifying Background Abundances of Symbiodinium Types: Exploring the Rare Symbiodinium Biosphere in Reef-Building Corals (PROTOCOL and CODE)

Quigley et al. 2014

The first wet-lab and bioinformatic protocol for coral symbiont genotyping using Next Generation Sequencing.

Transgenerational inheritance of shuffled symbiont communities in the coral Montipora digitata (CODE)

Quigley et al. 2019

V.2 of the symbiont pipeline.
