Adventures in Ecology and Evolution

My research interest centers on predator-prey interactions viewed from both perspectives: how do predators affect their prey and likewise, what are the effect of prey on predators? I am particularly interested in reciprocal phenotypic plasticity and inducible offenses in predators.

Presently I am developing a project to examine the evolutionary patterns of phenotypic plasticity in salamanders.

As I move forward in my research, I suspect this place will be more interesting ecologically! In the meantime, feel free to amuse yourself with the links to your left where you can find information varying in levels of interest, relevance, and potential absurdity.

Cheers!
