Main Research Themes

Understanding the feedbacks between ecological and evolutionary processes is necessary for making robust predictions about the future of our rapidly changing ocean. My work focuses on the effects of temperature on pelagic copepods, some of the most abundant animals on the planet. Their unique combination of ecological importance, wide distributions, and tractability as a laboratory model system opens up many opportunities to ask big questions with these little crustaceans.
