Environmental conditions tend to vary even in the most stable environments on Earth and this variation can influence organismal survival and reproduction. For example, mortality rates in many species tend to be tightly associated with environmental parameters such as the severity of winter or the duration of the dry season. I am an evolutionary ecologist interested in how organisms can cope with such change and, in particular, in the potential for adaptation to a variable and uncertain world. I try to address BIG picture questions through comparative studies (i.e., studies that include information on many different species), and to complement this work with theoretical models and selected experiments in the field or the lab.
