About
Bonett’s research focuses on understanding the influence of ecology and life cycle mode on the development and evolution of animal form and function. Because the timing of amphibian development appears to be largely governed by hormones, his research also includes experiments that examine how hormones regulate patterns of gene expression and development. Using a comparative approach, he analyzes patterns among populations and species to understand how the evolution of endocrine mechanisms has shaped developmental variation in nature.
