Former Students Graduates Dr. Lisa Schwanz (email) I completed my Ph.D. in Biology at the University of New Mexico in 2006. My dissertation research focused on condition-dependent maternal investment, largely in mammals. I examined, empirically and theoretically, how mothers alter their total investment in offspring and their division of resources between male and female offspring when their condition changes (e.g., when infected with a parasite). Continuing my research on the evolution of reproductive strategies, I joined the Janzen Lab in 2006 to study temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) in painted turtles (Chrysemys picta). As an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow advised by Drs. Fred Janzen, Steve Proulx (Iowa State University), and Stuart West (University of Edinburgh), I am investigating the relationship between the local environment and patterns of TSD in freshwater turtles.

My research focused on species isolating mechanisms of two pupfishes, C. variegatus and C. elegans. Currently I am teaching at Westlake Academy, Dallas, TX. Selected Publications: Tech, C. and A. Kodric-Brown.  Effects of visual preferences, mating system, and male-male competition on assortative mating between two pupfish species, Cyprinodon elegans and C. variegatus, and their hybrids. Anim. Behav. (in press). Former Undergraduates     Information contained in this document is © copyright Astrid Kodric-Brown, 2007. All rights reserved.
