Hall Research GroupWe study the evolutionary genetics of sex, death, and disease
By using model species like Daphnia and their pathogens, we work at the interface of ecology, evolution, and epidemiology. With backgrounds in quantitative genetics and sex-specific adaptation, we study how global change shapes the health of populations.
Monash University
The Hall Research Group is found at the School of Biological Sciences in the Faculty of Science, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
