As a native Alabamian schooled at the University of Georgia, I'm quite excited about leaving the south to begin my PhD at CSU--I doubt I'll miss the humidity. After a year of behavioral research with Drosophila at UGA, and several months of work with the yellow dung fly at Zurich University, I'm looking forward to joining the "Guppy Group" with Dr. Lisa Angeloni as my advisor. I'm interested in mating systems where multiple mating tactics exist, such as male courtship and forced copulation, specifically the variability of these behaviors in individuals. In short, I'll focus on the plasticity of male and female mating behaviors in the Trinidadian Guppy.
