About
Regular biography
Megan Head is an evolutionary biologist at The Australian National University, affiliated with the Research School of Biology. Her research focuses on the evolution, ecology, and physiology of sexual reproduction, particularly how environmental factors influence reproductive traits and contribute to biodiversity and speciation. Her work explores interactions between the environment and reproductive traits, including coevolution within and between species. She employs diverse methods such as molecular techniques, quantitative genetics, and field observations to address these questions across various study systems, including lizards, fish, and insects.
