We study when and why evolution repeats itself

We believe diversity and inclusion leads to the best science

We study the predictability of evolution, asking when similar ecological challenges lead to the same adaptive outcomes, and when they do not. Our research integrates molecular evolution, sensory ecology, and behaviour to uncover the rules that shape adaptation. Focusing on predator–prey systems, we investigate how toxins, perception, and evolutionary history interact to constrain and channel adaptive change. Our goal is to transform evolutionary biology from a descriptive science into a predictive one.
