Welcome to the lab group of Professor Matthew Gage,
School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia (UEA).
Our primary interests are in reproductive biology, sexual selection, and the evolution of sperm form and function.
Research in our group uses a number of animal models (insects, fishes, mammals), in both field and laboratory environments, to answer questions about the evolutionary ecology of reproduction.
Using a model insect to answer big evolutionary questions.
Controlled, replicated experiments in a wild species.
Last month Kris completed his PhD ‘impacts of heatwave conditions and temperature variation on reproduction in the insect model Tribolium castaneum’. It was a great opportunity to critically discuss the work within. In addition to the acknowledgements (photos below), thanks to the external examiner Prof. Klaus Fischer, the internal examiner Dr. Richard Davies, the chair…
