Faculty Profile Email Dr. Starks
I received my PhD in 1999 from Cornell University. After three years as a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Miller Institute at UC Berkeley, I joined the biology department at Tufts University in 2002 and was tenured in 2008. I consider myself a theory driven behavioral ecologist.
My lab has published on vertebrates, invertebrates, and microorganisms. For more information, please see our research statement.
