General research interests

 

My research interests broadly center around evolutionary ecology. In particular, I’m interested in how environmental factors shape maternal reproductive behaviors and allocation strategies, as well as their consequences for offspring phenotypes and fitness. Additionally, much of my research evaluates how environmental factors (e.g., temperature and moisture) encountered by developing embryos affect fitness-relevant phenotypes of offspring. My current and past research interests focus on various aspects of phenotypic plasticity, evolution of viviparity, maternal effects, environmental sex determination, and sex allocation biology. I primarily use reptilian models and experimental approaches to understand these fascinating areas of biology.
