Scientific Illustration, University of Georgia, 2012<\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-4 dig-4\">Olivia joined the Biology Department in 2023 and teaches the three-course Human Anatomy and Physiology series. She found teaching to be her calling while working as an instructor for introductory and advanced human anatomy labs during graduate school at Oregon State. The belief that science is for everyone is at the core of her teaching philosophy, and she aims to foster confidence and curiosity in her students as they study the human musculoskeletal, nervous, reproductive, cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive systems using actual human cadavers.<\/p>\n<p>During her PhD work, Olivia has focused on the evolution, morphology, and natural history of the carabid tribe Tachyini, a widespread and diverse group of tiny beetles that are particularly abundant in the tropics. Her dissertation (in progress) centers around phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences and the study of specimens using different microscopy and imaging techniques\u2014this research has led to the discovery of unexpected patterns of convergent evolution among the many hundreds of species in this relatively poorly studied group.<\/p>\n<p>From beetles to humans, Olivia is drawn to questions about the relationship between form and function in the bodies of living organisms, and emphasizes this framework as her students make connections between the micro- and macroanatomical structure of the human body and the cellular and organ system level processes that allow our bodies to maintain homeostasis.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=xQFAdGsAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\"

processes occurring within leaves can scale up to impact whole-plant stress response and the distributions of genotypes and species. She combines physiology, evolutionary history, climate data, 3-D imaging of plant anatomy, and machine learning to better understand the many ways plants interact with their environments, which is essential for predicting how species will fare in increasingly warm and dry climates. Her work has focused on the model plant system, Arabidopsis thaliana, shrubs in the western United States, and trees in New England. Dr. Fletcher joined the Biology department in 2024 and is excited to teach courses in plant physiology, biogeochemistry, principles of biology, and more. Dr. Fletcher also enjoys drawing, watercolor painting, and thinking about the intersections of science and art. <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=fs3EFEAAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\"

Her research uses the invertebrate organism <em>C. elegans<\/em> to study sensory-mediated behaviors. Current projects in her lab are working to: 1) determine how genetic variations can change primary cilia structure and function to alter normal sensory behaviors; and 2) understand how nematode foraging behaviors evolve in response to wildfire-exposed food sources. While Dr. LaBontry&#8217;s work is currently focused on studying behavioral changes in <em>C. elegans<\/em>, she has also spent time studying skeletal development and diseases in zebrafish, and cellular pattern formation in the eyes of fruit flies. Dr. LaBonty joined the Biology Department in 2021 and teaches courses in principles of biology, cell biology, developmental biology, microbiology, and immunology. <a

Environmental Science and Policy departments. Much of her research has focused on caribou ecology, including how historical population dynamics and landscape features shape the genetic diversity and connectivity of caribou herds. Recognizing the important knowledge and values that people have for wildlife, she also incorporates historical and ethnographic approaches into her research. Beyond caribou, she loves to work with students in a diversity of ecosystems using field methods such as small mammal trapping and camera trapping. Ultimately, she is motivated to contribute to ecosystem stewardship that enables wildlife populations to adapt to change and benefit human well-being. <a

class=\"pop-4 dig-4\">Dr. Robart is an integrative biologist whose research examines the behavioral and physiological mechanisms that animals use to respond to their environment. Most of Dr. Robart&#8217;s research focuses on understanding how environmental factors influence the timing of life history stages, such as reproduction, and the amount of resources devoted to key life events. Her research has mainly utilized fish and birds, but she has experience working with diverse taxonomic groups. While much of her research is conducted in the lab, Dr. Robart is excited to establish a field-based research program on local freshwater fish. Dr. Robart joined the Biology Department in 2020 and teaches courses in principles of biology, animal behavior, and evolution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-4\"><span

Youngblood is an animal physiologist and ecologist who studies the impacts of climate change on insects. His research uses grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) as a model system to understand how physiological processes scale up to produce ecological patterns. By combining laboratory experiments, field observations, and computational models, Dr. Youngblood aims to improve our ability to predict the impacts of climate change on insect populations. Current projects in his lab center on three themes: 1) investigating how temperature-nutrient interactions affect the physiological performance of insect herbivores; 2) monitoring the diversity and distribution of grasshoppers in the Klamath-Siskiyou ecoregion; and 3) building mechanistic models of insect performance and distribution. His lab also collaborates with biology education researchers to investigate how to make undergraduate biology courses more inclusive and effective. Dr. Youngblood joined the Biology Department in 2022 and teaches courses in principles of biology, comparative animal physiology, and biogeography.
