My group is broadly interested in the ecology and evolution of sexual reproduction. My group studies this by investigating species that have evolved asexuality, female and male mate choice, and comparative sperm traits. We are also interested in sensory ecology, and the evolution of cave organisms. We use mainly livebearing fishes for our projects.
