Descubre como la actividad humana modifica los patrones ecológicos y evolutivos de reptiles y anfibios

Oferta compartida por Cristina

The Frishkoff Lab seeks to understand how human impacts on the environment are recasting ecological and evolutionary patterns forged over millennia

Our core research foci include:

(1) elucidating why some species prosper while others fail when confronted with anthropogenic change through biogeographic, eco-physiological, and community approaches,

(2) determining how human impacts are pruning the phylogenetic tree of life, and whether past macro-evolutionary trajectories inform current and future tolerance to anthropogenic change,

(3) developing statistical methods that account for omnipresent biases in observational data, to better test eco-evolutionary hypotheses.



We focus primarily on Reptiles and Amphibians in The Caribbean, South America and Texas.
