To make\u00a0connections between genes, phenotypes and the environment, we integrate genomics, population genetics, developmental genetics, physiology, and ecology using natural populations in both field- and lab-based investigations. Conceptually, our research addresses integrative questions in evolutionary biology, ecological genomics, and global change biology, with an eye toward conservation. \u00a0Our models systems to explore these questions to date are sea urchins, copepods, and horned beetles.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Come back soon \u2013 this website\u00a0is evolving!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pespeni Lab is starting at the University of Vermont (UVM)!
