Research Interests

My research interests include kin selection, cannibalism, food web dynamics, and the roles of aggressive behavior and territoriality in competitive exclusion. I use predatory invertebrates, amphibians, and reptiles as model systems. My students and I conduct laboratory and field studies to address these topics.

BL 370 - Evolution
BL 444 - Advanced Ecology
BL 521 - Herpetology
