I'm recruiting 2 MSc students to join my lab at JMU in Fall 2025/26, supported by an NSF BRC-BIO grant. Both projects focus on the evolutionary ecology of insect-plant interactions. Ad is here:

Coevolution-induced selection for and against phenotypic novelty shapes species richness in clade co-diversification
Abstract. Coevolution can occur because of species interactions. However, it remains unclear how coevolutionary processes translate into the accumulation o
I am thrilled to announce that the Hembry Lab will be moving to the Department of Biology at James Madison University (in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia) this fall! The lab will be recruiting MS students and self-funded postdocs; e-mail me for details.
Many thanks to Matt Knope for a fantastic seminar visit last week at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo! Great conversations with students and faculty working on Pacific biodiversity. I'd been all over the Pacific, but not previously to the island of Hawaiʻi; indeed, biologically and geologically, there is nowhere in the Pacific quite like Big Island.
Back from a very fun and enjoyable seminar at Angelo State University yesterday (at 131 miles campus-to-campus, the closest university to UTPB). Really great discussion with students after my talk. Many thanks to Greg Krukonis and the Department of Biology for hosting me!
Hi all, I'm recruiting 3 MSc students to join my lab at the University of Texas Permian Basin in Fall 2024/25, supported by an NSF BRC-BIO grant. All projects focus on the evolutionary ecology of insect-plant interactions. The ad is here:

Many congratulations to undergrad researcher in the lab Jose Zapata, who has accepted a research technician job at the University of Iowa Medical School in Anthony Fischer's laboratory. This was Jose's host lab in the summer 2022
@NSF REU program at University of Iowa. We're so excited for you Jose!
I had a wonderful seminar visit earlier this week at the University of Texas at Austin. One (of many) highlights was a visit to the brand-new Hill Country field station along the Pedernales River. Many thanks to
@alexwild for the invitation!
We're excited to announce the lab has received an NSF REPS supplement to support Sarai Badillo as a postbac student in the lab for one year. Sarai was an undergraduate researcher in the lab, and will be working on leafflower moth caterpillar microbiomes in Texas. Congrats Sarai!
