Current Projects

Dissertation Work

My current work focuses on understanding sexual conflict in the red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) at Mountain Lake Biological Station. I am developing a long-term project with manipulated OSR to understand how mating harassment impacts female fitness using genetic parentage approaches.  

Meta-Analysis

Alongside this, I study phenotypic selection in Anolis sagrei, using longitudinal field data and large-scale meta-analysis to disentangle the mechanisms driving variation in selection strength.

Population Genomics

I am also contributing to population genomic analyses of migratory and non-migratory Danaus plexippus populations in Dr. Drew Schield's lab.
