An EconoTimes perspective

Postdoctoral Research Associate, University of Glasgow

Postdoctoral Research Associate, University of Glasgow I have broad interests in evolutionary and behavioural ecology, with a general focus on reproductive behaviour, phenotypic plasticity, and adaptation to environmental change. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at University of Glasgow, working with Kevin Parsons, Neil Metcalfe, Shaun Killen, and Jan Lindstrom on a project using Icelandic three-spined sticklebacks. As a part of this work, I am conducting field studies and multi-generational laboratory experiments to understand the behavioural, morphological, and physiological changes that occur in response to contrasting thermal environments (Icelandic hot springs and cold lakes). In August 2018 I published a new paper in Proceedings of the Royal Society B on biparental care in burying beetles.
