I am broadly interested in the evolution and maintenance of natural diversity. Currently, I focus on seasonally adaptive traits, particularly those which help to determine the phenology of an organism. In highly seasonal environments selective pressures vary temporally, so many organisms rely on environmental cues to optimize their life history strategy. I am interested in the interaction between these cues (particularly those impacted by global climate change) and organismal phenology, population dynamics, and selection.
