We combine field, molecular, and modeling data to understand how the interplay between physiology and behavior governs responses of animal communities to global change.

Some ongoing work in the lab.
What happens when predators come back? Reintroducing carnivores to their historic range is a popular conservation tool, but we don't know much about how rewilding impacts prey populations. We are adding data to that gap by documenting how predator introductions in Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park impact the distribution, activity, and evolution of their prey.

How do cold-blooded animals cope with city heat? As the human footprint spreads across the planet, some animals are adjusting to life in urban environments. Comparing forest- and city-dwelling anole populations across Puerto Rico, we are investigating the role the heart plays in ectotherms' ability to thrive despite thermal stress.

When do we adapt to life on the edge? While most chimpanzees live in rainforests, some populations live in hot, dry savannas. Utilizing field observations, biophysical modeling, and genomics, we are quantifying the selective pressures in the savanna environment and tracing physiological constraints to their evolutionary consequences.
