My research focuses on evolutionary physiology and
the correlated evolution of complex traits (e.g. behavioral and physiological
traits). In
particular, I emphasize two complementary approaches, quantitative genetics and
comparative methods, to address questions concerning the patterns of and
evolutionary processes underlying character suite evolution. Questions are
approached using both field and laboratory techniques on a variety of model
organisms (e.g., squamate reptiles, house mice, stalk-eyed flies).
