We tackle questions concerning how organisms function and evolve to help us better understand the natural world. Our research aims to understand how interactions between species and their environment, and interactions between different species, drive changes in behaviour, physiology and morphology. The ability of species to evolve is key to their survival in a rapidly changing environment. Spannin
