Welcome

We study mate choice, communication, and how interactions between species affect the ecology and evolution of behavior. We work with insects, because they are easy to collect and rear, have short generation times, and display all the fascinating behavior one could ever wish for. Check out our research page to learn about what we study and our people page to learn about current and past lab members!
