I am broadly interested in the costs of sequestration and tritrophic interactions. My research utilizes a diversity of milkweed plant species, milkweed aphids, and parasitoid as a model system. Photos

Our lab explores the effects of climate change on insect physiology, behavior and ecology. Photos
My primary research interest is on the complex relationship between the trillions of microorganisms inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract and locomotor behavior in lizards.
I study patterns of genetic variation in plants and the causes of that variation. Further, I study the consequences of plant genetic variation on the surrounding community. For example, I am currently setting up an experiment to study genetic variation…
Examining marine plankton population dynamics using computational, theoretical, laboratory, and field-based methods
My lab studies plant/insect/microbe interactions focusing on pollination services to urban milkweed ecology and desert evening primrose species.
