Research Description: |
Our lab addresses the question of how complex traits originate during evolution. We primarily study visual systems, eyes, visual behavior and bioluminescence as model traits addressing questions like, when did a particular phenotype evolve? When did the components of that phenotype evolve? Where did those components come from? and What evolutionary processes and mechanisms were involved? |
