Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Wade A. Boys is a PhD student at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville studying freshwater ecology, with a focus on the role of plasticity in adaptation to rapid climate change. His research investigates how predators influence the selection for adaptive plasticity in prey defense behaviors and how interactions between fitness components across the life cycle can constrain competitor coexistence. Boys has also contributed to research on the biogeography and distribution of endemic dragonflies in the Ozark-Ouachita Interior Highlands. His work has been published in journals covering ecological interactions and conservation amidst global change. Boys has a citation count of 54 and an h-index of 3 across his 7 publications.
