The evolutionary ecology of plant-animal interactions (and so much more)

Research in the Thomson lab focuses broadly on the evolutionary ecology of plant-pollinator interactions.  Members of the lab use a variety of approaches to address questions about floral trait evolution, pollinator health and behaviour, the effects of climate change on pollination, and other aspects of plant and pollinator natural history. We have broad organismal interests, with projects on bees, hummingbirds, and bats, along with a myriad of plant species. To learn more about our research and lab personnel, please explore our website!
