My research group examines how organisms respond to and cope with environmental challenges including rapidly changing environments and the consequences for life-history evolution. Most of our research is conducted on free-living house sparrows, but we enjoy collaborating with people on diverse systems.

Projects:

• Some like it hot: do birds with warmer winter boxes nest earlier and produce more offspring?

• Sharing the load: how does nest temperature influence incubation behavior in male and female house sparrows?

• Insults for free: The role of metamorphosis in reversing aging in bees
