Current Research
Dr. Draghi is an evolutionary biologist working primarily on developing and testing the body of theory we use to predict rapid adaptation. His work focuses on three main areas: the evolution of behavioral responses to signals, expansions and contractions of niche breadth in response to environmental change, and the potential of populations to persist via evolutionary rescue.
