ANDY KRAEMER, NSF Postdoctoral Fellow

Andy studies the evolution of animal phenotype in response to predation and the role of extinction in determining extant diversity. He is currently studying the link between ecology, morphology, and extinction in two radiations of Pacific land snails (Galapagos Naesiotus and Hawaiian Achatinellinae).
