Welcome!

We are a lab of evolutionary ecologists working in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Lethbridge.

Current research focuses on experimental and theoretical work on the evolution of senescence (i.e., 'aging'), using a demographic approach.

Other topics, typically completed with collaborators, include plant-insect interactions, plant molecular ecology and biogeography, species coexistence, and the evolution of cooperation.
