Meet The Team
-
Morgan Fleming, Ph.D.
Morgan is a postdoctoral researcher interested in the ecological and evolutionary responses of organisms to environmental variation and global change. Her current research examines how morphological traits vary across spatial and temporal gradients in Vanessa cardui using museum collections.
-

Catrina Alberts
Cat is a Ph.D. student in the Carter and Propper Labs studying amphibian biodiversity using eDNA. Cat bridges Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western methodologies to conduct research that both advances science and honors cultural perspectives. Cat is funded by the NSF GRFP.
-

Colton Roberts-Zaffiro
Colton is a Masters student investigating shifts in morphology and pigmentation that are important to thermal biology in the beetle genus, Polyphylla.
-
Skylar Snow
Skylar is interested in insect morphology and development. She is currently investigating phenotypic plasticity of butterflies to anthropogenic temperature variability.
-

Aliza Howard
Aliza is an undergraduate student investigating how fungicides on host plants affect butterfly development, metabolism, and reproduction.
