Integrative evolutionary biology of livebearing fishes

We study how environmental variation, behavior, and interactions among individuals shape evolutionary processes.

Research across biological scales

Behavior, movement, and gene flow

Connecting individual differences in behavior and movement with population connectivity.

Adaptive polymorphism

Testing how environmental selection maintains visible genetic variation in natural populations.

Social genetic effects

Examining how the genotypes of social partners influence behavior and evolutionary outcomes.
