Research
My research aims to integrate physiology, behavior, reproduction, evolution, and ecology. In particular, I work to uncover 1) the mechanisms through which animals adjust their behavior, morphology, immunology, and reproduction to environmental and intrinsic cues, 2) the role of variation in these traits in driving evolutionary and ecological processes, and 3) the potential for human practices to alter trait expression and reproductive performance.
