    Essential Job Duties

    The Zakas lab studies the genetics of developmental evolution. We are interested in determining the genetic basis for developmental traits under selection. We use the marine polychaete, Streblospio benedicti as a model for understanding life-history evolution. S. benedicti females produce two distinct types of offspring with different developmental programs. Our research focuses on comparative oogenesis, embryology, and larval biology of the two developmental types. In this system we can integrate aspects of ecology, evolution, and genomics to answer questions about how development evolves.

    More info about Streblospio and the Zakas lab's projects can be found here:
