Research Interests:
I am generally interested in the evolution of adaptive phenotypic plasticity and the costs and benefits of plastic traits across environmental contexts. Specifically I am studying melanin pigmentation in insects: pigmentation plasticity, costs and benefits of pigmentation, and how plasticity varies across populations.
