RESEARCH INTERESTS:
I am an integrative evolutionary ecologist interested in the process of adaptation to environmental change over time and space. Through a combination of theoretical modeling, comparative studies, and field research, I explore the effects of environmental variation on the evolution of cognition, morphology, physiology, and behavior, with the ultimate goal of identifying general principles that improve our understanding of evolutionary dynamics and inform our efforts to address climate change.
