Biology: Ecology and Evolution
Award Year
1997
Robert's project builds on his interest in mammalian design, animal behavior and ecology. His research examines how an animal's design and evolutionary history imposes constraints on locomotion. In collaboration with Professor Sharon Swartz, Upton will analyze shrew design in relation to its specialized ecology and will investigate whether shrews are a more representative model of early mammals.
