PhD candidate at UofT studying ecology and evolution in cities 🌱🏙
Part one of my common garden experiment is out today in Nature E&E!! We compare how urban and rural environments affect selection on HCN production, local adaptation, and eco-evo dynamics in white clover doi.org/10.1038/s415...
Effects of urbanization on local adaptation and eco-evolutionary feedbacks in white clover - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Evidence of adaptation to the urban environment remains limited. Using reciprocal transplants of white clover in urban and rural environments, this study shows divergent selection on an antiherbivore ...

Yesterday was the last day of my 3-year long field experiment, and the last of my fieldwork for my PhD! I did some drawings and wrote a bit about my thoughts and feelings about it in the latest issue of the EEB Quarterly theeebquarterly.github.io

Superstars!
Congrats to our awesome summer undergrads for completing their projects, & to Apekshya, Mariana & Johanna for winning best presentation & poster awards at the undergrad summer research day. You've all learned a lot & we are proud of what you've accomplished @utmbiology.bsky.social @utm.utoronto.ca

We started today with a wonderful talk on how cordyceps fungus generates zombie ants. Then on to modelling, egg laying timing & brood number, white clover in rural and urban environments, young active SINEs in Italian sparrow, TE content in ferns

Converting previous land-uses to parks *can* provide many benefits, but doesn't erase environmental injustice. New interdisciplinary work drawing from urban forestry, historical ecology, and environmental justice - really glad to see this one out! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

So cool to have seen this paper come together and so glad it's finally out!
I am thrilled that this manuscript is now out in the world! If you saw my talk at #Evol2025 you may remember me discussing how religion, politics & war shape urban evolution & now you can read all about it here: www.nature.com/articles/s44...
Legacy effects of religion, politics and war on urban evolutionary biology - Nature Cities
Cities affect biological evolution, but traditionally researchers focus on the biophysical influence of urban environments. Instead, this Review explores how the social processes of religion, politics...
