We use ecological and evolutionary approaches to uncover the functional relationships between organisms, their behaviors, phenotypic traits, and environments. We primarily study marine mutualisms between inverts and fishes, but we also dabble in other types of species interactions in the marine world.

We co-founded a few podcasts over the years, and most recently Catch the Concept aimed at breaking down science concepts in fun and captivating ways.
