I am an Assistant Professor of Biology at Williams College. I address fundamental and applied questions about the role of evolutionary change in the generation and maintenance of biological diversity. Specifically, I study how changes in predation and climate regimes trigger evolutionary changes through direct and indirect pathways and how these changes influence population dynamics, community composition and ecosystem processes. All of my research involves an ongoing synergism between theory and data. I develop theory and then test predictions from theory with experiments in natural and semi-natural populations. Please visit my webpage to see detailed descriptions of my research.
