Research in our lab combines evolutionary studies, animal behavior, genetics, and theoretical modelling to understand when and how individuals use information from the social environment to alter phenotypes. We are also interested in how social environment affects the maintenance of variation. Currently, I am examining the effects of social environment on life history, behavior, morphology, and fitness of round goby (Neogobius melanostomus). Previous work has examined (1) early life adversity and social connectedness on baboon life history and fitness and (2) the effects of social environment on the developmental trajectory and fitness consequences of alternative reproductive phenotypes in the sailfin molly, Poecilia latipinna.
