Profile
My lab studies the physiological, biochemical and genetic mechanisms underlying local adaptation in natural populations of animals. We test if similar mechanisms underlie adaptation (over generations) and acclimation (within a lifetime), and if different species use similar physiological solutions to cope with environmental change. Together, this work will help biologists understand how repeatable, and thus predictable, evolutionary change may be. In particular, we study how natural populations of fish evolve to cope with environmental stressors, such as changes in water salinity and temperature. We also collaborate with Dr. Laura Weir’s lab to study evolutionary variation in fish breeding behaviour and nuptial colouration. I teach courses in animal diversity and physiology, including 'Principles of Physiology' (Biol 3004), 'Integrative Vertebrate Physiology' (Biol 3021) and ‘Animal Athletic Performance’ (Biol 4407)
