Greg Grether

Greg Grether is a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research interests include Behavior, Conservation Biology, Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, and Theory. His work focuses on the study of animal behavior and its ecological and evolutionary implications, with an emphasis on phenotypes and the use of molecular tools. Grether's research explores interspecific aggression and its role in species diversification, addressing gaps in the understanding of behavioral interactions. He teaches courses such as Introduction to Ecology and Behavior, Field Behavioral Ecology, and Graduate Seminar. His lab website provides information on recent publications and research projects.

Gregory F. Grether is a professor in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research focuses on ecology, evolution, and animal behavior, with a particular emphasis on understanding the mechanisms driving mate preference, sexual coloration, and interspecific competition. Grether's work often centers on guppies and damselflies, exploring how environmental factors and genetic constraints shape evolutionary traits. His studies investigate the role of carotenoids in sexual signaling, the evolution of competitor recognition, and the interplay between behavioral interference and natural selection. Through empirical research, he examines how ecological pressures influence phenotypic plasticity and genetic adaptation.
