UNR Evol Doers

The Feldman Lab is part of a larger informal group of PIs and students that study the evolutionary biology, ecology, and conservation of terrestrial vertebrates at the University of Nevada, Reno--the legendary UNR Evol Doers.  Participating labs include:

Marjorie Matocq
   (NRES) University of Nevada, Reno

• Population and evolutionary genetics of mammals, including conservation biology

Jamie Voyles
   (Biology) University of Nevada, Reno

• Disease ecology and conservation biology of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals

Jenny Ouyang
   (Biology) University of Nevada, Reno

• Physiology, ecology, and life history evolution in birds with a focus on urban ecology

Jennifer Hoy
   (Biology) University of Nevada, Reno

• Neural, genetic, and physiological integration of behavior and vision in mammals

Mike Logan
   (Biology) University of Nevada, Reno

• Evolutionary biology of reptiles, especially the lability of ecophysiology and thermal biology in lizards

Misty Riddle
   (Biology) University of Nevada, Reno

• Evolutionary genetics, with an emphasis on morphological and physiological adaptations in cave fish

​Davide Baldan
(Biology) University of Nevada, Reno

• Behavioral ecology of birds, especially the evolution of mating and parental care strategies
