Marine Evolutionary Ecology
Dr. Will Ryan, Assistant Professor
We are broadly interested in how interaction among abiotic conditions, genetic variation, and ecological processes drive the evolution of life cycles, life history traits, and local adaptation.
Our projects span a range of themes, including:
-
The evolutionary drivers of (partial) clonality
-
The evolutionary drivers of phenotypic plasticity
-
Local adaptation along spatial gradients
-
Acclimation & adaptation in novel environments
-
The role of seasonality in life cycle evolution
