Erica Larson, PhD
Principal Investigator
When I look at biological diversity, I see dramatic variation in male and female reproductive traits. I want to understand how interactions between males and females - both cooperative and antagonistic - shape the evolution of reproductive traits and contribute to the origin of species. I am also an avid gardener and enjoy yoga, hiking, and camping in the front range. Follow me on Bluesky: @ellarson.bsky.social. CV

I am primarily interested in how reproductive behaviors can influence the genetics of a population. Why do individuals choose the mates they do, and how do those choices affect the species? I am joining the lab to work in the cricket hybrid zone.
