Research
My main
research interests include optimal foraging, species interactions,
evolution of virulence, life-history trade-offs and game theory.
Weaving these subjects together is the question of 'what ecological and
evolutionary factors underlie variation in species interactions in
wildlife?’ – whether over time, among locations, or
across species.
In my Ph.D. research, I investigated the primary causes of
spatio-temporal variation in observed virulence levels
(parasite-induced loss in host survival and reproduction), host
resistance, and patterns of parasite reproduction and infection levels
in wildlife. Specifically, I tested the hypothesis that environmental
variables interact with host and parasite characteristics to determine
spatio-temporal variation within a given host-parasite system. I
focused on interactions between rodents and their hematophagous
(blood-sucking) ectoparasites. On July, I joined the Lively lab. I plan
to investigate the relationships between the genetic structure of the
parasite population and its virulence. I will use a
bacteria-nematode-moth association as a model system.
