Research in the Angert Lab lies at the interface of evolutionary biology and ecology. 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. These projects take us to the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, and soon to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Read more.

We're looking for new undergraduate researchers (how to apply: click here). Check here to learn more about who's in the lab.

Sarah Kimball's new paper about climate change and desert annuals is described here.

We're pleased to welcome Christine Prins, graduate student in the Plant Molecular Biology Program, to the lab for a first-year rotation project.

Next semester undergraduate researcher Carina Nichols will rejoin us after spending the semester abroad in Ecuador. Welcome back, Carina!
