Specific Interests
I use insects as model systems to investigate questions related to life history evolution. More specifically, my master’s research focused on the ultimate and proximate drivers of intersexual differences, and their behavioral causes and consequences. My current research aims involve sperm competition and the evolution of parental care in Nicrophorus beetles.
