Dylan is an Evolutionary Biologist at the School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University. His research examines the evolution of the life history among vertebrates and invertebrates. In this context, he uses phylogenetic comparative methods to generate hypotheses and draw broad conclusions that can be applied to wide ranges of taxa. He is particularly interested in studying the evolution of foraging mode and its connection to some life-history traits, such as adult body size, reproductive effort, age of first reproduction, etc.
In addition, he conducts experimental evolution studies in populations maintained in the laboratory. Specifically, he examines the frequency of alleles with underlying effects on the foraging behavior of individuals evolving under different selective pressures, which enables him to make strong inferences concerning phenotypic and genetic responses to selection.
