| Research Description: |
We are investigating the evolution of hair cells and of hearing using a variety of model and non-model organism, such as Drosophila, tunicates, amphioxus, hagfish, lamprey and the zebrafish. Our intial interest is to address these question from a evo-devo perspective, with a future interest in asking how new ecological niches could have been accessed by animals with modified sensory abilities. |
