Broadly interested in how muscle physiology constrains performance in behavioral displays of animals as well as how hormonal and molecular regulation of physiology leads to variation in behavioral displays. 

Interested in understanding how wildlife can thrive in unprotected landscapes, specifically using spatial and molecular ecology to determine how conservation strategies can be designed.

Aging regulation by non-autonomous signaling from Drosophila gut enteroendocrine cells.

Samantha studies biomechanics and the functional anatomy of the skull, primarily in fish. She is interested in constraints on evolution and broadly how complex mechanical systems work. 

I'm interested in the costs of participating in mutualism, a species interaction in which both species benefit, and how changes in those costs impact the immediate behavior of participants as well as the long-term evolution and stability of mutualisms.

Broadly interested in how animals respond to environmental change, and more specifically in spatial and temporal diet-microbiome interactions, and how this may influence host health and fitness.

Mia's work is focused on critical analyses of how genomic sex differences claims are made, how gendered effects can impact the inference of sex-biased human demographic history, and in applications of coalescent theory to detecting admixture and introgression.

I am a biochemist investigating interorgan communication between the heart and kidney with age, focusing on how endocrine dysfunction induces renal fibrosis, using Drosophila and animal models to develop impactful solutions that promote healthy aging.

Xavier’s research focuses on human ancient DNA with a particular interest in population genomics, demography, and evolution.

My research explores disease ecology at the interface of wildlife and domestic species, focusing on wild mammal parasitology through taxonomic identification and molecular techniques.
