I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. I am in the Andrade Lab at UT Scarborough (http://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/labs/andrade/). Although the lab focuses on the integrative behavioural ecology of mating, my work focuses on untangling the phylogenetic relationships of widow spiders using multi-gene and next generation sequencing approaches. In addition, I am investigating spider visual opsins using an RNA-Seq approach for transcriptomics. I am in the process of analyzing and writing up… Wow life is over the top busy!!
