Braulio A. Assis Postdoctoral scholar Email: bmd5458(a)psu.edu Office: 327 Mueller Laboratory Education PhD in Ecology, Penn State MSc in Biology, Adelphi University BSc in Biological Sciences, Universidade Vila Velha, Brazil Research Interests I am interested in how sex-specific selection can shape the eco-evolutionary dynamics of natural populations. My work has integrated physiology, morphology, phenotype, and behavior of arthropods and reptiles.
