Research Lab Members:
Baugh, Alexander
Research Summary:
Dr. Ryan studies animal behavior. Most of his work has addressed sexual selection and communication in frogs and fish. He is especially interested in integrating an understanding of the mechanisms of communication involved in mate attraction with the evolutionary consequences of sexual selection.
More information - see a longer description (with pictures) of Dr. Ryan's research interests and more information on the Ryan lab.
