Welcome to the Bronikowski Lab of evolutionary ecology! 

​​​​

Our Vision is to understand the evolution of the extraordinary diversity of vertebrate life-history strategies and bring our findings to bear on human, herd, and wildlife health. 

​

Our Mission to study the evolutionary ecology of life history variation is accomplished through 

​

• collaborating widely using observational and experimental studies on diverse species of vertebrates

• working across multiple levels of biological organization, from genomes and epigenomes, cellular stress phenotypes, morphology and behavior, to populations and communities

• holding ourselves to high standards of ethics in how we collect and share data, how we treat others and our study animals, and how we interact with the habitats in which we are fortunate to work and explore  

• valuing harmony, respectful communication, welcoming environments, dignity, working to our best abilities, and growing productive and supportive relationships​
