I am an evolutionary biologist/ecologist working in Dr. Laura Reed's Lab who is interested in the evolution of novel biochemical adaptations, particularly when the adaptation is costly under some conditions.
Research
- Sequencing genomes to identify genetic signature of toxin tolerance.
- Quantifying physiological mechanisms of toxin tolerance.
- Examining intraspecific variation in toxin tolerance.
- Characterizing the evolution of feeding behavior and toxin tolerance.
