Kayla King is a Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Oxford, specializing in evolutionary ecology. Her research addresses fundamental problems in evolutionary biology by studying the interactions between parasites and hosts. King investigates rapid evolution and the benefits of sexual reproduction, focusing on the genetic diversity present in natural populations. Her work involves the ecological and genetic aspects of rapid coevolution and the implications for community interactions and mating systems. King combines experimental evolution in laboratory populations with genomics and theory to explore these themes, aiming to create a collaborative research environment. She encourages graduate research fellowship applicants to reach out with their CVs and descriptions of their research interests. Her lab’s research contributes valuable insights into the dynamics of host-parasite interactions, which serve as a powerful empirical framework for understanding evolutionary change.
