Research Interests
My main interests are simple, I want to understand how, if, and when animals are able to adapt to their ever-changing environments. Specifically, here at Penn State, I explore this area of research by focusing on how a native predator (fence lizard) interacts with invasive prey (the red imported fire ant). This system acts as a wonderful model to explore how native species are able to adapt to invasive species, as the red imported fire ant acts as both an invasive predator and prey.

Be on the look out for cool questions and even better answers.
