Brain and behavioral evolution during the formation of new species.
The Lemmon Lab studies how new species originate and evolve, with an emphasis on brain and behavioral evolution in amphibians. The goal is to understand the proximate (how?) and ultimate (why?) mechanisms promoting speciation. The lab applies behavioral, genomic, neurophysiological, and computational approaches to determine how changes in auditory neural circuits lead to diversification of reproductive behaviors during the evolution of new species.
