Welcome to the Langerhans Lab
Our research broadly investigates the evolution of biological diversity and the predictability of phenotypic evolution. We study a wide array of topics in evolutionary ecology, focusing on the importance of major ecological factors (e.g., predation, competition, sexual selection, abiotic agents) in driving phenotypic evolution and speciation. Much of our empirical work centers on aquatic systems and lizards, examining the links between morphology, locomotor performance, and fitness. You can find more information about our research on the publications and research pages.
Meet the People in the lab.
Note that I will be accepting graduate students and postdocs starting fall 2010 at North Carolina State University. Faculty, facilities, financial support, and climate are all excellent at NCSU! If you are interested in joining the lab, visit the Lab Openings for further information and application details.
