Christine Miller

Christine Miller is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. Her research focuses on behavioural ecology, evolution, plant-insect interactions, sexual selection, and insects, with a particular emphasis on leaf-footed bugs. Her work explores the ecological and evolutionary significance of weaponry in these species, including their role as crop pests in Africa. Miller's interdisciplinary research integrates ecology, behaviour, and evolution with biomechanics and materials science. She is a Theme Lead for Organisms, Evolution and Planetary Resilience.

Christine W. Miller is a Professor of Biotic Interactions at the University of Cambridge, specializing in evolution, behavioral ecology, and sexual selection. Her research explores the mechanisms and evolutionary consequences of sexual selection, particularly in the context of male-male competition and the trade-offs associated with sexually selected traits. She investigates how environmental factors influence sexual selection and the evolution of traits such as weapons and ornaments. Her work also examines the ecological and evolutionary implications of autotomy and morphological changes in response to novel prey. Miller's research integrates experimental and theoretical approaches to understand the dynamics of sexual selection and its broader impacts on evolutionary processes.
