Biography

Andrés López-Sepulcre is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University. His research focuses on a variety of ecological and evolutionary questions, particularly relating to eco-evolutionary feedback. He conducts research on Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata) within tropical streams, employing a variety of quantitative methods. His approach is integrative, utilizing both mathematical models and long-term data collection, alongside manipulative experiments conducted in field, laboratory, and semi-natural environments. His current research addresses critical questions including how adaptation and resource availability impact nutrient cycling and its evolutionary implications on guppy life history, as well as broader demographic consequences of density-dependent selection. López-Sepulcre’s work aims to elucidate predictable patterns of rapid evolution and their ecological impacts, especially concerning urban environments.
