Research
Broadly, I am
interested in the evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions.
My research examines the geographic variation in coevolution between
sterilizing trematode parasites and their snail intermediate host,
Potamopyrgus antipodarum.
Host-parasite coevolution can maintain the
coexistence of sexual and asexual forms of P. antipodarum (Red
Queen
coevolution), and populations across New Zealand vary in the frequency
of sexual snails. I am investigating the role of multiple parasite
species as well as gene flow between coevolutionary
“hotspots” and “coldspots” in
producing among population variation in parasite local adaptation and
sexual frequency.
