Research Interest

Many of the traits we study are linked to aging, the progressive decline of performance that accompanies the unavoidable increase in adult age as time passes. Thus much of our work falls into the realm of life history evolution and trade-offs in resource acquisition and allocation.  Other traits are tied to vision and eyes, and we use these to understand how animals have evolved to acquire information from their environment.  Thinking about vision led us into thinking about how organisms cope with the extraordinary varibility of light in water.  Which in turn led us to thinking about photosynthesis as another biological process dependent on light, and thus we embarked on our work with cryptophytes.
