Fates of populations in modified habitats

Wild populations are facing unprecedented global change. We study the nature of this change through the lenses of ecology, evolution, and conservation. In particular, we ask whether populations experiencing environmental change are adapting or becoming maladapted. Our work is guided by an overarching goal of developing understanding of the fate of natural systems influenced by human activities.

About
We are a group of biologists in the Biology Department at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, CT. We investigate the consequences of environmental change on wild populations, especially amphibians. We are particularly interested in understanding how populations adapt or fail to adapt to environmental change, especially in the contexts of roads and runoff pollution.
