species, climate warming, & evolution lab

Insects, Plants, & Microbes in the Anthropocene

The Species, Climate Warming, & Evolution LAB investigates how organisms survive, persist, and evolve in the face of environmental change. By bridging ecology, physiology, and evolution, we study how climate stressors such as heat, drought, and urbanization shape life-history traits, stress tolerance, and genetic diversity. Using insects, plants, and microbes as powerful model systems, our research uncovers the mechanistic bases of adaptation and the evolutionary pathways of resilience, with the broader goal of understanding how life will navigate the challenges of a warming and unpredictable world.

what we do

We investigate how insects adapt to environmental stressors by integrating ecological context with evolutionary dynamics, physiological constraints, and behavioural strategies. This integrative framework defines our research at the Adaptation Interface.
