My research group investigates the physiological and evolutionary mechanisms regulating life-history transitions in seasonal environments, how variation in these mechanisms lead to variation in timing of seasonal timing, and the effects that this variation in timing has on survival and reproductive success. We primarily use songbirds including red-winged blackbirds and dark-eyed juncos for these investigations.

Projects:

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

• Morphological and Physiological Response of Barred Tiger Salamanders to Fish Introductions
