Hamilton College Arboretum Saturday Speaker Series

Observing Changes in Frog Behavior with Ariel Kahrl, Hamilton College Assistant Professor of Biology

Professor Ariel Kahrl is an evolutionary biologist studying the evolution of traits that are subject to sexual selection. She accomplishes this by combining experimental biology, comparative analyses, and fieldwork. She is developing a new research program centered around the evolution of reproductive physiology in frogs and salamanders. She hopes that her research in the lab can be integrated into her classroom, providing students with active research experiences and teaching them valuable skills. An assistant professor of Biology at Hamilton College, she earned her bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College and her Ph.D. from the University of Virginia. Kahrl’s research focuses on understanding broad patterns of evolution across all animals, as well as examining the physiological mechanisms that underlie those patterns.
