I am broadly interested in how interactions at different levels of biological organization drive the evolutionary process, from epistasis between loci within a genome, to social interactions among individuals in a population, to coevolutionary arm-races between species in a community. My work focuses on natural populations and field studies of selection and inheritance in taxa ranging from snakes to insects to flowers.

I am a behavioral and evolutionary ecologist fascinated by how complex phenotypes shape and are shaped by ecological interactions. My work focuses on the interplay between nectar production and foraging behavior phenotypes in a plant-pollinating beetle community at MLBS. I am also engaged in science communication work to share the fascinating story of evolution with all audiences. You can find out more on my website here.

I am interested in how species interactions influence evolutionary change. I am particularly interested in behavioral ecology, and look forward to developing a project involving the social behavior of Forked Fungus Beetles!

I am a behavioral ecologist interested in the evolution of social behaviors. I have studied cooperative vigilance in meerkats and coordinated feeding behavior in fruit flies, and I look forward to exploring the social behavior of forked fungus beetles in the field next summer.

I am a Ph.D. student in the Biology Department, co-advised by Mandy Gibson and Butch Brodie. I received my B.A. in Biology from Davidson College in 2020. I joined the lab in the fall of 2022, and I am interested in how coevolution between arthropods and their gut microbiomes influences habitat choice.

I am the lab technician for the Brodie lab. I help in managing and creating databases that the lab uses, as well as assist in executing and creating lab protocols. I love analyzing big data sets and employing modern data science techniques onto ecological data. I enjoy learning about ecology and animal behavior.
