Research

My research program focuses on the evolution of development. This interdisciplinary field, which unites evolutionary and developmental biology, has given rise to many novel discoveries. One of the most exciting discoveries to emerge has been the realization that developmental regulatory genes, such as Hox genes, have been conserved across the animal kingdom. How the same genes and gene networks have come to pattern such diverse animal forms is a fundamental question in evolutionary developmental biology.

The general goal of my research program is to address this fundamental question by studying the complex relationship and interaction between the environment, genotype, and phenotype, and the role these factors play in the generation of morphological diversity. An important way in which the environment can change the relationship between genotype and phenotype is through plasticity in development.

Developmental plasticity, such as the different seasonal forms in a single butterfly species, is a pervasive feature of almost all living organisms. My lab focuses on a striking form of developmental plasticity called polyphenism.
