Research Biography
Lauren is a third year PhD student in the BirdLab under the supervision of Sonia Kleindorfer, Diane Colombelli-Négrel and Rachael Dudaniec on the Avian Vampire Fly (Philornis downsi), a parasitic fly introduced to the Galápagos Islands. Her project focuses on the novel co-evolutionary relationship between the Avian Vampire Fly and its Darwin’s finch hosts, and how this has changed over time from the parasite’s perspective. Lauren is investigating changes to the life history and population genomics of Avian Vampire Fly since its introduction, examining the impact of invasion and natural selection on parasite populations and host-parasite interactions.
