Dr. Gribble is a molecular biologist broadly interested in the evolution, ecology and life history of marine and freshwater plankton. She combines her training in biological oceanography, evolution, and molecular biology to investigate how environment and genetics influence the phenotypic plasticity of life history strategy and morphology to allow adaptation to changes in environmental conditions and to determine evolutionary fitness. By understanding the outcomes induced by specific environmental conditions, the molecular genetic bases of phenotypic changes, and the evolutionary conservation of plasticity, Dr. Gribble’s research enables predictions about the results of changing environmental conditions at scales ranging from the individual to the ecosystem.
