-I work on the physiologyevolution, and conservation of crocodilians. My research goals are to understand hybridization from a genetic perspective in two species of Central American crocodiles (//Crocodylus acutus and Crocodylus moreletii//and to examine its physiological and ecological consequences. By understanding the genotypic and phenotypic responses of hybrid vsparental fitness, I am to use this research to promote effective conservation strategies, while also filling in some of the knowledge gaps in crocodilian genetics and physiology.+**Helen Sung**

 +Aloha! My name is Helenmy research focuses on evolutionary biology and conservation genomics of crocodilians. My research goal is to understand hybridization in two species of Central American crocodiles //Crocodylus acutus // (American crocodile) and //Crocodylus moreletii // (Morelet's crocodilefrom both a genetic and phenotypic perspectiveUsing a genome-wide association study, I am investigating genetic markers from physiological stress in hybrid zones, for which I aim to use this research to promote effective conservation/management strategies, while also filling in some of the knowledge gaps in crocodilian biology and evolution.
