My research investigates how organisms navigate fluctuating and often contrasting demands on life-history traits resulting from climate change under different ecological contexts (e.g., predation risk).  鈥婭 approach ecological questions through a mixture of long-term field-based research, lab experiments, and mathematical modeling to refine and develop new theories of how organisms are and will continue to respond to climate change effects (e.g., drought, thermal regimes).鈥�

• Mentorship:  I have directly mentored or supervised more than 30 undergraduates including 2 REU students(1 REU for 2 summers), resulting in 8 co-authored publications (4 with undergraduates as lead authors) and presentations by undergraduate mentees at the university, national, and international level. One of my former mentees (Christopher Schalk) is now an assistant professor at Stephen F. Austin University.
