Gretchen Wagner



I am broadly interested in eco-evolutionary dynamics and life-history evolution, with a focus on reproductive strategies and parental care behaviour. My current research topics include:


The evolution of delayed dispersal and family dynamics


Trait variance under fluctuating conditions: plasticity, bet-hedging, or both?


Breeding biology of birds in arid and semi-arid zones: coping with harsh and unpredictable environments
