Research: "Evolutionary-developmental-functional-eco-morphology" was the joke term I coined with my good friend Manny Azizi to cover our interests. In a nutshell, it's about unraveling the mobius strip of how organisms perform their behaviors, how sources of variation affect that performance, and how that performance affects evolution. The three main sources of variation in nature are ontogenetic (or developmental), ecological (or environmental) and phylogenetic (or evolutionary). My research approach is experimental.
