Welcome to the Brodie Lab
We explore coevolutionary arms races using garter snakes and poisonous newts as a model system
See our Research Page for more information.
See our Research Page for more information.
The lab has a long-standing interest in how interactions between conspecifics affect the evolutionary process. Currently, we are exploring the evolution of social network structure impact fitness in natural populations of the forked fungus beetle (Bolitotherus cornutus).

Our field sites span from the mountains of Virginia to the Pacific Coast of North America, the islands of the Caribbean, and Central America
We study the molecular evolution of sodium channel structure as it as evolved resistance to the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin (TTX) - see Research Page for more
The Brodie Lab is a group of question driven natural historians. We have worked on a variety of organisms, from snakes and newts, to beetles and burrower bugs, and occasionally even plants!

Students have the opportunity to learn practical skills including screen sewing and basic carpentry
We are interested in interactions at all levels of biological organization - from the functional integration that generates correlational selection, to the social contexts that generate multilevel selection, to the species-level interaction that drive coevolution
Forked fungus beetles live on colonies of polypore fungi including Ganoderma tsugae
Past research has used anolis lizards to investigate problems in quantitative genetics and the evolution of genetic architecture

We are broadly interested in the evolution of toxins and resistance, focusing mostly on tetrodotoxin (TTX) found in many amphibians and the evolution of resistance in the predators that ingest TTX
We use experimental enclosures to manipulate physical and social contexts to understand what influences social network structure and behavior of forked fungus beetles
The evolution of G-matrix structure and it's impact on evolutionary dynamics is one of the pervasive research themes in the lab
