Current Research

Evan’s research focuses on evolution and biodiversity of the poison frogs, with an emphasis on how diversification of color patterns can lead to population divergence and speciation. His doctoral research focused on ecological speciation in Ranitomeya imitator, a species that has undergone a "mimetic radiation", that is, where different populations have diverged in appearance to resemble different model species. Currently he is studying the influence of color pattern divergences on speciation more broadly.
