"Somewhere between nature and nurture"
Overview
Our research focusses on life-history evolution in natural and model systems. We use field-based experiments and lab-based microcosm studies to try and understand how the interaction between the environment and individual and population level processes shape the evolution and diversity of life-history strategies within natural populations.
Current projects utilise Daphnia, Mnais damselflies and venus flytraps.
