The MacLeod Lab explores the links between animal behaviour, life history and physiology, and how individuals interact with each other and their environment. This employs field and lab work. While the questions we address are not limited to any particular study species - we mostly work with lizards! Currently, research is focusing on three major themes, and how these may interact to shape and direct the evolutionary process.
