Evolutionary Biology
Current Research
My research program focuses on the evolution of complex phenotypes. I am particularly interested in the evolution of phenotypic integration, that is, how natural selection shapes groups of traits to produce well-adapted organisms. I use both empirical and theoretical approaches and incorporate ideas and techniques from diverse fields, including evolutionary genetics, behavioral ecology, and physiology.
