The Population Ecophysiology Lab at Iowa State University
We study how environmental conditions shape life-history (like timing of sexual maturation, reproductive output, and growth), the physiological mechanisms that allow for these changes, and the consequences for populations as a whole.
We use small mammals as model systems to understand how these types of changes in individual physiology can influence population processes.
