Swierk Organismal Ecology Lab

The Swierk Organismal Ecology Lab studies the adaptations that animals use to cope with challenges in their environments. Our work examines trait functional significance, using both ecological and evolutionary approaches. Primarily, we focus on traits related to animal communication, sexual selection, and reproduction. Our work is grounded in natural history and is centered on two diverse groups of organisms: lizards and frogs.
