Prof. Matthew Gage's Research Group Website
Welcome to the lab group of Professor Matthew Gage.
School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia (UEA).
Our primary interests are in reproduction, sexual selection and conflict, and especially the evolution of sperm form and function.
Research in the group uses a number of animal models (insects, fishes, mammals), in both field and laboratory studies to answer questions of the functional and adaptive significance of reproductive strategies and mechanisms.
Using a model insect to answer big evolutionary questions.
Controlled, replicated experiments in a wild species.
Another successful piece of fieldwork completed in the beautiful surroundings of Matre, Norway. Matt, David and James worked with scientists from the Marine Research Institute, Bergen to hammer through over 500 fertilisation assays this winter. A successful way to kick-off James PhD and an apt send off for Davids last trip with the group.
