I finished my DPhil at the Salgo Team in 2024. My research aims then were to test the underlying assumptions of life-history theory through proximate (mechanistic) and ultimate (evolutionary) means. Specifically, I used the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, and structured population models (i.e., matrix population models and integral projection models) to quantify the impacts of environmental stochasticity on population dynamics and life history evolution.
As lead compadrino of COMPADRE, I continue collaborations with the Salgo Team in the realms of comparative demography.
