Our research follows from Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace, who focused on the evolution of new traits shaped by ecological interactions between organisms, whether within or between species. Such interactions are an evolutionary crucible in which new adaptations are forged, increasing the fitness of their bearers. Traits arising from intraspecific competition, host-parasite, predator-prey and mutualistic interactions are often more straightforward to study than those shaped by the abiotic environment because their genomic architectures tend to be simpler, and their evolutionary histories more dynamic. Species interactions can also drive the evolution of reproductive isolation, resulting in the origin of new species.

We use interdisciplinary approaches to study the role that species interactions play in driving the evolution of new adaptations and new species. We address these questions by integrating our research across levels of biological organization, using tools from behavior, biochemistry, chemical ecology, comparative anatomy/morphology/physiology, computational biology, evolution of development, genetics (including CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing), genomics, molecular and cellular biology, plant biology, phylogeny and neuroscience. We study systems involving plant-animal and plant-animal-microbial interactions.
