Penney
Evolutionary Ecology Lab

Current Areas of Study:

I am a evolutionary ecologist that focuses on early life history and fisheries ecology questions.

I am starting a research program looking at the evolution and ecology of parental care in

freshwater mussels. Being one of the most endangered taxa in the world, I am also interested in 

addressing questions relevant to their conservation and recovery.
