Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Taylor Ping's research investigates the interplay between predator-prey dynamics and the evolution of adaptive plasticity in prey. Their work examines how selective pressures exerted by predators can drive changes in prey behavior and physiology, influencing fitness components across different life stages. Publications explore the impact of predators on prey immune function and the potential for physiological adaptations, such as antipredator defenses, to overcome growth costs. Ping collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Adam M. Siepielski, Wade A. Boys, Simon P. Tye, and Tara L. Lanzer, with whom they have co-authored multiple publications. Their scholarship to date includes 6 publications and 56 citations, with an h-index of 3.
