My research interest revolves around evolution and ecology of morphological variation. Specifically, I am interested in mechanisms of foraging efficiency; habitat choice; individual diet specialization; phenotypic plasticity; population and evolutionary dynamics. More information about my current research projects can be found under “Research”.
