Evolutionary ecology and conservation of ectothermic vertebrates

Our research focus on understanding the eco-evolutionary effects of environmental variability in the life-histories of ectothermic vertebrates, examining the impacts of both natural and anthropogenic changes in environmental conditions. The EECEV group brings together research on evolutionary, behavioural, epidemiological and ecophysiological processes in amphibians and other ectothermic vertebrates, a group strongly affected by global change drivers.
