Lauren Buckley

The Buckley lab combines modelling, field and lab collection of ecological and physiological data, and ecoinformatics to examine how biology (morphology, physiology, and life history) determines an organism’s ecological and evolutionary responses to environmental change.  We integrate approaches from physiological ecology and evolution, population and community ecology, and biogeography.  While we continue some work on lizards, our research focus has been shifting toward montane butterflies and grasshoppers in Colorado as they offer excellent historical records.  These projects are part of an initiative to develop computational and visualization tools to translate climate change into biological responses.
