My research lies in asking how do free-living entities, with independent evolutionary agendas, come to associate and depend on one another? My work focuses on microbial symbionts and the drivers that underpin transitions along the diverse symbiosis continuum. Particularly, I am interested in how factors such as host sociality, coinfecting microbes, and transmission route may affect the evolution of symbiotic interactions.
