I am interested in the evolution of phenotypic plasticity and the role of plasticity in evolution. My research is specifically focused on how organisms alter their phenotypes in response to changing environments and the evolutionary role of environmentally-induced changes in development. I use various amphibian and invertebrate (beetles, daphnia) species as study systems, studying their adaptations to abiotic factors plus their interactions with predators, competitors, pathogens and organisms in other trophic levels.
