My research examines how nutrition shapes insect adaptation in changing environments. I am particularly interested in how climate change alters the nutritional quality of plants and floral resources, and how these changes affect insect performance, reproduction, and fitness.

I work across insect systems, including bees, butterflies, and Drosophila, to understand how nutritional environments influence life-history trade-offs, thermal tolerance, and the evolution of biotic interactions. A central aim of my research is to identify when changes in resource quality generate nutritional mismatches between insects and the environments they occupy, and how these mismatches affect their capacity to adapt or persist.

More broadly, I am interested in the role of nutrition in mediating ecological and evolutionary responses to global change, particularly in insect–plant and pollinator systems.
