Research in the Angert Lab lies at the interface
of ecology and evolutionary biology. We combine field and lab studies
to understand the process of adaptation. Much of our research focuses
on the ecology and evolution of geographic distributions, asking
what limits adaptation at the edges of species' ranges and how ranges
are likely to evolve in response to climatic changes. These projects
take us to the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, the Sonoran
Desert in Arizona, and the mountains and high plains of Colorado,
Utah and Wyoming. Read more.
