In the Bonachela Lab, we study how ecology and
evolution, and interactions between them, shape the emergent response of
individuals, populations, and communities to environmental
change. We are interested in a wide range of complex biological
systems and therefore study a variety of responses, from physiological
acclimation to spatio-temporal patterns.
The lab and our collaborative network use models and empirical work to develop and test
theories of biological organization across space and time. Thanks to
our diverse background, we like to
look at biological problems from different perspectives. To this end, we
use a multidisciplinary approach that combines biology, mathematics, physics, and computational methods.
