Marine Iguanas!

I am an Associate Professor of Biology at Elon University. I am also part of the Environmental Studies program at Elon University. Students currently enrolled in one of my classes can find information about the class on Blackboard. I was a Postdoctoral Associate at Rutgers University and before that I was a Graduate Student at the University of Pennsylvania.

My research is in the fields of ecology and evolution. I use phylogenetic techniques to investigate the patterns of evolution seen in life history traits. I also use DNA fingerprinting in natural populations of lizards to determine the effect of physiological variation on reproductive success.
