Research Interests: I am interested in the evolution of physiological systems and understanding comparative physiology within an ecological context. Physiological systems present energetic costs and benefits, where the meaning of 'optimal design' must be integrated within an individual's ecological context. Of particular interest to me is how life history events, such as the timing of reproduction, are effected by changing ecological contexts - and what questions are specifically raised by examining the proximate mechanisms of life history evolution. My research thus far has addressed questions in geological tectonics and biochemistry and represents my fascination with both huge scales of time and space and proximate mechanisms in physiology.
