Research and Teaching Interests

Evolutionary ecology, developmental plasticity, maternal effects, and phenotypic selection in reptiles (specifically lizards and turtles). The Warner Lab uses integrative approaches to examine interactions between organisms and their environments at several different levels of organization and across multiple life-history stages (from embryos to adults).
