Dr. Soper is interested in the impact of host/parasite coevolution on the evolution
of reproduction. She uses a freshwater snail from New Zealand to determine how parasitic
infection within populations alters reproductive behavior. She has also used a seed
beetle to determine how male competition influences the evolution of male genital
morphology.
