Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Tara L Lanzer's research investigates the influence of predation on prey behavior and physiology, particularly focusing on adaptive plasticity in defense mechanisms. Her work examines how predator-prey interactions can drive evolutionary adaptations, such as changes in prey defensive behaviors and physiological traits, to overcome the costs associated with these defenses. Lanzer has also studied the physiological effects of environmental stressors, specifically investigating the acute ammonia toxicity of unionid mussels. Her scholarly contributions include publications on insect species coexistence and conservation in the context of global change, as well as the selection pressures imposed by predators on prey defense strategies and the metabolic costs associated with antipredator adaptations. Lanzer collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Adam M. Siepielski, Wade A. Boys, and Taylor Ping.
